Do you really believe the only people harmed by crime are those killed with scary black rifles?We've had no mass shootings since military style semi automatics were banned and bought back. That was the point of the exercise. How many mass shootings has the US had since that time? More than I can count. Easy access to firearms means other people's kids pay for your free dumbs.
Meanwhile, in reality, New Zealand's gun crime rate has gone up.
New Zealand Gun Crime Hits 10-Year High After Strict Gun Confiscation
This is a success to you?It’s been more than a year since New Zealand instituted strict gun confiscation in the wake of a mass shooting in Christchurch in March 2019. So according to liberal logic, gun crime in New Zealand should be at an all-time low now.
But that’s the opposite of what has happened. According to figures obtained by Radio New Zealand, “[L]ast year had the highest rates of gun crime and deaths involving firearms for nearly 10 years.”
The gun-control legislation implemented in New Zealand banned all “military-style” semi-automatic guns and so-called “assault rifles.” In an effort to take those weapons out of circulation, the country established a mandatory “gun buyback.”
In 2014, before the implementation of gun control, New Zealand had a gun-related death rate of less than 1 per 1 million people. According to Radio New Zealand, the nation recorded 2.4 gun-related deaths per million people in each of the past two years.
