So...as expected...when you target law abiding citizens for gun control....you don't lower the gun crime rate. Only fools think that actually works.....and we are seeing exactly how it works in New Zealand...where they confiscated semi-auto rifles........
Tauranga shootings: Armed police sent in to battle increasing violence in the city
The deaths are the latest in an uptick of crime in the Bay of Plenty, following the arrival of the notorious Mongols Motorcycle Club in the area.
Their arrival stoked simmering tensions with established Tauranga gangs like the Greazy Dogs and the Mongrel Mob, with police warning the newcomers - hardened from inter-gang warfare with firearms - would radically change the criminal landscape.
Tuesday's homicide was the latest in a series of brazen shootings involving semi-automatic firearms, with a suspected arson along a row of the Bay of Plenty shops last month.
Nash said the Government was pouring more resources into policing the Bay of Plenty, targeting gangs and organised crime.

"What's happening there is happening all around the country. Since March last year police have seized more than 2,000 illegal firearms from gangs and other criminals."
In case you anti-gun extremists forgot...New Zealand is essentially a big F*****g island....and even they can't keep their criminals from getting and using guns......
The gun confiscation targeting law abiding gun owners worked so well....this is how the police now have to respond....
Armed officers dressed in body armour are about to hit the streets as police step up their response to increased gang rivalry and violent crime in Tauranga.
Police Minister Stuart Nash said the escalated response was a temporary measure aimed at tackling the latest flare-up between gangs. It also comes the day after two men where shot dead at a property in Omanawa.
"Expect to see police openly carrying their Bushmaster rifles and Glock pistols. Expect to see police wearing their new body armour," he said in a statement.
