$100,000 ?
Where did you come up with that?
Just off the top of my head after seeing some of the numbers floating about there are probably, at most, 150K weapons out there...
I think an “average” cost of even $3K for each one (including mags and bipod but not optics like in NZ) the price tag would be $450M...chump change for the Liberals and the Glorious Leader.
He may have bought 50K votes from fence-sitters.
Works out to $9,000 vote.
Cheaper than paying a student for doing nothing all summer or setting up a recently arrived “irregular” border-crosser who will vote Liberal for life.
Everyone who despises the Liberals will continue to do so but with a vengeance.
Everyone who drinks their Koolaid will take another blissful swig.
In case you are haven’t figured it out, politics is all about getting votes for the cheapest cost while weaseling to hide the optics of it
