But...they confiscated semi-auto weapons in New Zealand, so how did these criminals get them?

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.

It's almost like the OP is too thick to realise that banning a class of weapon will reduce the number in circulation.

Well, actually, that's false. It's exactly like it.

No, it isn't like that...since the gangs don't seem to be conforming to your theory......
 
Sigh. One more time.

New Zealand - gun homicides in 2016 - 9.
USA - Gun homicides in 2017 - 14,542.

I think they have this figured out.


Again...culture, not guns.....values and culture.

Our problem isn't guns, as I keep telling you. Our gun problem is concentrated in democrat party controlled cities. The policies of the democrat party allow violent, repeat gun offenders out of jail over and over again. These policies are created by democrat politicians, and implemented by democrat party judges and prosecutors....and this is where 95% of our gun crime comes from....

There is a direct link from the democrat party and their policies and gun crime.

Normal people who own and carry guns for self defense, for sport and for hunting do not create gun crime. Letting people you know are violent gun criminals out of jail and prison over and over again cause gun crime and murder....and that is our problem.

This problem is confined to tiny areas of democrat controlled cities......but since you and your kind don't care about gun crime, you simply hate guns and the normal people who own them, your "solutions," gun bans and confiscation...do not effect the actual gun crime and gun murder rates.

Our solutions actually work....you lock up gun offenders for long periods of time.....that will stop 95% of our gun crime....
