Gun owners 'very annoyed' by New Zealand's buyback plans.

Newshub: Why some gun owners feel 'very annoyed' by buyback plans.
Some gun owners feel let down by the Government's buyback plans after it was confirmed they won't get what they paid for them.

The Government has released its buyback price list, and as revealed by Newshub on Wednesday night, owners will not be paid the full retail price of their firearms.

[Competitive shooter Kyle Scott] has a Colt AR-22, a semi-automatic, which retails for about $1800. But the Government's market value for it is only $600.

And because the gun is used, Scott will only get $420 for it - not even a quarter of what he paid.

Licensed gun owners will be given a valuation on the spot by police-trained valuers. Newshub understands the aim is to get cash into bank accounts within 10 working days.

You can appeal the valuations, but it'll cost you at least $120.
