Gun buyback scheme a 'kick in the face' - sports shooter

From Morning Report, 7:26 am on 21 June 2019

A sports shooter who has spent thousands on the hobby says the government's gun buyback scheme is a kick in the face.

Introduced in the wake of the Christchurch massacre, gun owners will get a percentage of the market price of a weapon depending on its condition.

While the government admits the cost of the scheme remains unclear, it's set aside more than $200 million.

But how much money will reach gun owners pockets has angered many in the firearms community.
