They were still changing the list a month ago.

Gangs still have them

Others are confused if their gun is even banned due to complete lack of communication.

Mark Mitchell - Justice
20 December 2019
The gun buy-back scheme has been a failure and the blame for that is squarely on the Government, National’s Justice spokesperson Mark Mitchell says.
“The gun buy-back amnesty closes today and the Government hasn’t even managed to buy back anywhere near the number of firearms it was aiming for.
“Advice from Police and independent experts KPMG pointed to the number of banned firearms in New Zealand as high as between 170,000-240,000 firearms. This matches commentary from firearm stakeholders as well.

For Black CEOs in Silicon Valley, humiliation is a part of doing business

For Black CEOs in Silicon Valley, humiliation is a part of doing business The Mercury News  /  by Bloomberg News  /  9h By Priya Anand and Sarah McBride | Bloomberg Will Hayes has grown accustomed to an awkward start to business meetings. On numerous occasions, venture capitalists would confuse Hayes, the head of software company Lucidworks Inc., with another man on his executive team. The investor would introduce himself, extend a handshake to the other guy and say, “Good to meet you, Will.” It’s strange because they don’t look alike. Also, Hayes is Black, and his deputy is White. This happened so many times, in dozens of meetings over many years, that Hayes and his longtime colleague, Keith Messick, say it’s no coincidence. Such unintentional instances of racism, they say, have become a routine—and insidious—part of doing business at a Black-led company in Silicon Valley. Protests over the death of George Floyd at the knee of a White police officer in Minneapolis

Fact Check: Trump lied 46 times at recent rallies Forty-six false and misleading claims the president has made at recent rallies. We reviewed all of President Donald Trump’s speeches at campaign rallies over five days, from Oct. 12 to Oct. 16. There were six speeches and combined, Trump spoke for more than eight hours, averaging about one hour and 20 minutes per speech. Below is a compilation of 46 of the false and misleading claims he made; Trump often repeated those claims at multiple rallies. We have organized them by subject matter. Trump spoke in  Sanford, Florida , on Oct. 12, his first rally since recovering from COVID-19. It was the shortest of the five speeches, at just over an hour. The following night, the Republican nominee spoke in  Johnstown, Pennsylvania,  followed by an Oct. 14 rally in  Des Moines, Iowa , then  Greenville, North Carolina,  on Oct. 15. He finished up the week with two rallies: one in  Ocala, Florida , and another in  Macon, Georgia , on Oct. 16. (We
