    Oh dear it looks as if the leftist loyal media has been generating fake news again, and this time it is in reference to New Zealanders falling all over one another to give up their guns in the wake of the horrific massacre last week. They . . . are . . . not. In fact they are buying more guns to protect themselves. Ooops!

    Problem is this wont be a US style ban, there will be a mandatory confiscation under threat of imprionment. Probably in excess of 10 years prison fot failing to comply.

    To be fair, the numbers of semi-autos that were made illegal I read was closer to 13k. High cap magazines are also banned but of course they have no idea how many of those are in circulation. The MSM is pushing stories of a handful of individuals who are gladly handing over their guns.

    O dear ... so there are still countries in the world that are not as degenerate and idiotic in terms of weapons law as the US. It is still hope!

    I would like to know what it means to have stun guns and automatic weapons? That can only be idiots ...

    But perhaps the Muslims in the US should arm themselves privately to their teeth to protect themselves from such right wing scum ... equal rights for all!

    Eventually the United States will get there as well once our Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) and leftists politically unite on the issue. It's really just a matter of time.

    You said "automatic weapons", then called someone else an idiot?

    Of course Muslims should protect themselves. If there'd been a few CCers at that mosque to pop johny spree shooter after his first shots, not only would many people still be alive, but the story wouldn't have likely made it outside NZ.

    But then again, if there were CCers at that mosque, johny spree shooter would've shot somewhere else up. Mass shooters seek easy prey, and do their homework.

    You will find it a whole lot harder to herd us into cattle cars than it was in your country.

    Let me give you a word of advice from somewhere with strict control: lack of registration is a HUGE advantage. Do not register when they make you.

    I know ... because we do not have a bunch of schizophrenic trolls around, who think they have to arm themselves to the teeth for their protection ... mostly in the police, they also see a stooge of the evil government as an institution to theirs Protection!
    Likewise, the number of illegal weapons or, in general, the number of gun-armed criminals is extremely small compared to you, which has the same idiotic cause, which is why the trolls seem to have to arm themselves like a war at home.
    Do you know ... when I see that 12-year-old girls have their own pink AR-15 standing next to the bed and daddy is proud of it ... then I also just shrug their shoulders over the school massacre ... And then there is not even pity for the victims, it really comes to me at such a mad house.

    Sanctuary Cities, dood. Sanctuary Cities. If we can't force folks to turn in illegal immigrants at the local level, we sure as hell cant force folks to turn their guns in either.

    Very interesting ... your only problem is that it were not illegal immigrants who were shot there! These were people with valid residence status!

    Red State quoting the leftist Buzzfeed.


    Buzzfeed reported how many firearms have since been surrendered: 37. Thirty-seven guns have been turned in, by an unknown number of people (at least three). New Zealand has a population of nearly 4.8 million and has an estimated 1.2 million registered guns.

    The media is obviously trying to make this look like a trend......snip~

    Ahahahahahahahaha. Now what Source excuse can be played? :laughing:

    Oh my, yes there are more deviates than the US out there. That would force ALL of their citizens to give up their privileges all due to what one foreigner would do in their country.


    Stun guns in demand in Germany amid security concerns
    https://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/08/stun-guns-in-demand-in-germany...
    Feb 08, 2016 · Germany's kh-security GmbH & Co. KG, which distributes the Czech stun guns, confirmed the big rise in sales last year and another peak following the New Year's Eve security incidents.

    Maybe you should ask those idiots in Germany. Or check in with Merkel for more talking points.

    Lol .... Do you seriously mean your post?

    Yes, some big sale ... but not sale to guns! And of course ... such an incident, in which the police authorities had failed miserably, naturally provides for sales of irritant gas, pepper spray & Co.

    Only the difference to you in the US is ... we do not equip ourselves directly, as if we want to go to war with AR-15 & Co. ... and the "evil side" with us does not run accordingly like Rambo and a load of pepper spray in his face is enough to stop this scum!

    NPR spent almost 15 minutes on this today waxing about how successful New Zealand is and will be removing these "dangerous" weapons from their citizens...

    At some point, you have to wonder why some folks in New Zealand want to live like they would if they lived in China...

    An appropriate question for the police in New Zealand would be, once you take the weapons away from the law abiding folks, how do you protect the folks who won't have a way to protect themselves? And when they fail, and they will, will New Zealand take on the accountability for their failures? If someone with unlicensed weapons shows up again, and police fail to protect, then what?

    And why that? Because they do not accept AR-15 rifles and automatic guns ... they want to live in Chian for you? Lol ...
    You Americans with your "I want my own gun obsession" are really funny and amazing!

    You know ... there are actually a lot of civilized countries outside the US, including New Zealand, who see in a gun exactly what they are - a potentially lethal distance weapon ... not an everyday item like the US ! Therefore, there are far fewer people who think they have to arm themselves to the teeth, as if they live in a war zone ... which is also because the corresponding scum, also far less often has a gun or used a gun.
    As a result, people in these countries also have far greater confidence in their police that they are protected by it and therefore they also give the police the monopoly of force to protect citizens!

    I know ... sounds completely unbelievable and like coming from another planet for many Americans! Unfortunately, that's a fact that you'll probably never understand in the US.

    And how many Germans do you know?
    In Germany in 2018 there were a total of 5.37 million registered firearms, including 3.5 million one-shot hunting or sporting weapons - rifles - of caliber 5.56mm upwards. Followed by 1,200,000 pistols, of which 2/3 are registered with security diners, ie companies that are the German counterpart to US companies such as Brinks Security and make money transports etc.
    The rest are actually privately owned pistols, including those used exclusively for sport shooting.
    Anyone with a legal AR-15 you will not find here at us ...
