So they seem about on track for their estimate of buying back $200m worth of weapons over the course of 258 such buy-back events over the next 3 months.
The media here is very right-wing for the most part, and numerous people in the media hate the current center/left government. If there's anything bad to report about what the government's doing, they will.
