New Zealanders react to Friday's attacks by voluntarily surrendering guns.
Not a large number, admittedly, although it remains to be seen what happens over the next few days. The fact that farmers - pretty much the conservative bloc in Aotearoa - can say that the minor convenience provided to them with the weapons concerned doesn't trump the potential risks they pose again gives me some hope, and reinforces the fact that the politicians concerned don't need to see this as as inevitable vote-losing action.
Forgot to add to this - our largest online trader and one of the biggest chains of outdoor and hunting equipment stories have stopped selling semi automatic guns.
