New Zealand confiscates guns from normal people, now the police have to be armed against armed thugs

[2aguy]

Apparently, New Zealand police did not normally carry guns.......until recently, you know, after they decided to confiscate guns from law abiding Kiwis....the ones not committing crimes with guns.....

Guns are not the problem.......criminals are the problem. When you waste your time with stupid gun laws, banning guns and confiscating guns, you are an idiot...since criminals are the problem....not law abiding gun owners...

Criminals carrying guns is increasing in New Zealand.......so, anti-gunners....your stupid gun laws and confiscation...isn't freaking working.....on an island, you dopes...

'People are fearful': New Zealand police admit gang violence is out of control

Officers in Hawkes Bay, a region on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, are to be armed – police do not routinely carry guns in New Zealand – and have a more visible presence, with officers brought in from other areas, after shots were fired during a gang brawl in Taradale, Napier, on Sunday.

A 25-year-old man injured in the brawl was due to appear in court on Wednesday and police said more arrests were likely. Another shooting took place further north on Saturday, near the town of Ruatoria in the Bay of Plenty. Police said it was also gang-related.

The number of gang members in Hawkes Bay has increased by 30% to 35% in the past two or three years, according to police. Officers said on Wednesday they had arrested more gang members for unlawfully carrying weapons, including in an episode where members had “converged” on the Hawkes Bay town of Wairoa.

In Saturday’s street brawl in Taradale, Stuff reported that residents “ducked for cover in shops and cafes” as shots rang out – one hitting a child’s car seat. The child was unharmed.

“We don’t know why they happened. It could be drugs, could be tit for tat, it’s stuff we will never know,” Kura said. It would be “horrendous” if a child was hurt.

Are you saying the changes in gun laws that happened last year are the cause of the gang problem that has been increasing for 2-3 years according to the police?

Nope, I am saying the gangs don't care about the gun laws and as you see in the article, more gang members are carrying illegal guns even after the ban.......

Criminals arent really a threat to a left wing authoritarian establishment ..in a few ways you could say they're allies ...we all know it

Millions of armed law abiding citizens are a threat to a brutal batshit insane leftwing authoritarians

Progressives need armed criminals to convince law abiding unarmed citizens that they too should love Big Brother

Liberal stupidity knows no bounds

but heres a brain teaser

new zealand is often held up as a model society

if there is gang violence there with so much liberal prosperity where did the gangs come from?

it cant be poverty that drives them since NZ has socialized medicine and a “living” minimum wage as libs define it

so what gives?
