New Zealand's Wacky PM bans sale of semi-automatic rifles, institutes mandatory buyback program

[martybegan]

That PM isnt much of a leader. Knee jerking is a sign of weakness and cowardice.

Worked in Australia

Correlation does not equal causation.

Weakness never works. Thats why your kenyan messiah was such a failure.

This idea that stuff that works in other countries can’t possibly work in the USA is bullshit.

You have 35,000 people dying every year by gun violence. Another 100,000 a year are wounded. And it’s not just gangbangers and brown people. The vast majority of victims are white people. The vast majority of gun suicides are white people in the mid-west. The highest rates of violent crime are now I the fly-over states.

25,000 of the 35,000 are suicides. that isn't gun violence, that is someone killing themself.

That you have to lie right of the bat shows your views are worthless.

Only the cops and the thugs can have them in NZ now.

Sad.

The libs think that this is a victory.....dead Muslims....and a gun ban.

Conservatives think mass killing weapons keep them safe. It’s not working. You have the highest rates of murder, gun crime, and mass shootings in the free world.

US POPULATION: 325,700,000.

HOMICIDES BY FIREARM: Approximately 11,000 average per year, give or take. Primarily thugs and gangbangers.

Not even a blip.

That is quite a blip
No other civilized society has to endure such a blip

Civilized societies don't hoard their garbage.

Looks like that cop has an AR.

This won't turn out well.

It has turned out very well in Australia.

 

[Flash]

The Useful Idiots are playing right into the hands of the killer.

He said he could have killed the Muslims other ways but chose to use an AR to rile up the anti gun nuts and he succeeded.

This is what happens in a country without a Bill of Rights and separate branches of government. You get rule by the Mob.

Good new for the Japanese. If they ever decide to invade Ne Zealand they don't have to worry about a New Zealander behind every blade of grass.

And yet an Australian with an RV full of guns just shot up a mosque.

An outright ban isn't a restriction. It's a ban. And for what? The actions of one person. Let me guess: none of the victims carried to defend themselves. What will be NZ response after the ban when it happens again? A bigger ban? Don't we all feel good now, safer. We just disarmed the 99.99% of the law abiding public for the actions of the 0.01% who don't obey laws anyway, making it easier not harder for the next crackpot to go on a killing spree.

No, no, no. Don't you understand? When you ban something people stop doing it! Just look at how we stopped everyone from using drugs!!

Have you ever taken into consideration the fact that if these weapons remained legal someone could buy one and then later on become radicalized and commit an atrocity?

Have you ever considered that there are already millions of semi-autos out there, and any crackpot likely to repeat such as crime already has one? Bans mainly affect one thing: legal commerce between law-abiding reasonable people; criminals and sociopaths just go around such laws. The ban will mainly serve to prevent lawful people from protecting themselves or enjoying other pursuits and hobbies and hurt the dealers who now are left stocked with inventory they paid for but cannot sell nor return.

One more example of political expedience at addressing the symptom because the cause is much harder to deal with.

Dead is dead. It doesn’t matter who wields the gun. All of this death and violence costs your economy billions of dollars every year. From the costs of investigations, medical treatment for the injured.

Highest murder rates in the free world and thehighest suicide rates. Highest rates of drug addiction, obesity. Lowest ranked health care system and worst public education system in the free world.

Americans are”exceptional” alright. Exceptionally pigheaded and stupid.

It's not "weakness." If you want to start shooting Muslims, go to war someplace. The churches and coffee houses and theaters of the world are not the place for war.

Suicide is a personal decision.

Maybe we should try it. Sounds like the mob got it right.

Good news for the crooks and the government thugs in New Zealand.

Now the people will not have the means to ever oppose government tyranny or criminal activity.

They are not citizens any more they are subjects and potential victims.

This is what happens when anti gun nuts get their way. Disgusting, isn't it?

The Mob turned New Zealand citizens into subjects and potential victims and that is disgusting. Only a stupid Moon Bat would want to do that to Americans.

You can use the same logic to ban alcohol and cars. Hell cars kill more than guns do.

List of countries by suicide rate - Wikipedia

and another lie from you about suicide rates. We are behind South Korea, Japan, Finland, Belgium, Russia, the Baltic Countries....

And all that other stuff has to do with gun violence how?

Oh wait, those are the real causes (some of them) of violence, not lawful people owning a gun you find "scary"

"New Zealand Gun Ban Days After Attack Shows What Could Happen Here Without 2nd Amendment"

A responsive government that offers more than just “thoughts and prayers” to the dead? I’m in.

 

[Crepitus]

This could be us in short order if the Democrats get what they want.
All the left has to do is either allow an attack to take place anywhere in the world, or plan and excecute a similar attack here and they could convince enough idiots that getting rid of guns is a good idea.
Then you won't be able to live in peace anymore.

Thugs will take over our streets and the cops will let it happen because they are controlled by the state.

Let the anti-White ethnic-cleansing begin.

New Zealand mosque shootings: Assault rifles to be banned - CNN

Anti-white cleansing?

WTF are you talking about?

 

[toobfreak]

This isn't necessarily a knee-jerk reaction.

In 1996, Australia had it's anti gun legislation written up years ahead of Port Arthur shooting that allowed the parliament to ram it through with no opposition.

New Zealand would have had this legislation prepared well ahead of time in order to trot it out in response to an appropriate tragedy.

This legislation did not come about in a vacuum. They are using all the same buzz words used by anti gun groups globally. High capacity, military-style, assault rifles.

Interesting side note, this isn't legislation in the common meaning of the term.

NZ Parliament didn't vote on this, it is an edict from their Cabinet.

But all parties have come out in support of it.

A second tranche of measures is being introduced next week.

including issues such as licensing, registration, and storage.

The country will be a lot safer for this.

It'll have no effect on future crime. When was the last time something like this happened in NZ? It will simply make it much harder now for lawful people to buy, access and use their firearms for protection and simple sport and is simply one step in trying to totally disarm a populace. The main purpose to all of this is to use a crisis in order to make appear to the public that politicians are actually doing anything. New Zealanders just became less free and their government just got bigger.

While pinheads like you celebrate the action, you're actually celebrating the eventual total state control over a people with zero freedom.

100% safety. 0% freedom. History repeats yet one more time despite where history shows this takes us each and every single time.
