Your last sentence makes me question the validity of your first. You’ve already been shown to be wholly ignorant of New Zealand’s laws and rights.
But please indulge me - what about New Zealand makes it a “terrible place”? Having only spent a few very captivating weeks there, I came away with something of a different impression, so am eager to hear what an expert such as yourself thinks.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! (They bombed Pearl Harbor and waged war against us fighting in the Pacific and not on our homeland)
SWITZERLAND issues every household a gun! The Government
TRAINS every adult they issue a rifle and they have the
LOWEST gun related crime rate of ANY civilized country in the world.
The UNITED STATES is 3rd in murders throughout the World.
But if you take OUT Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C. and New Orleans, the United States is 4th from the bottom for murders. These 4 cities also have the toughest gun control laws in the United States, and are all controlled by Democrats.
AUSTRALIA In the 1996 buyback program, Australians sold 640,000 prohibited firearms to the government, and voluntarily surrendered about 60,000 non-prohibited firearms
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria…alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.(Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!)
Got a link…i always thought that when we used facts there was supposed to be a citation. I googled worldwide gun facts…and could not find this information anywhere
That’s a party line. We are no more bloodthirsty than anyone else. That’s a line democrats use to scare people. The fact is we have the right to own firearms. That is all.
He wasn’t even a citizen and the gun he used was already illegal so exactly what change in law could have prevented this shooting? How about barring Aussies from visiting or migrating to NZ?
The ones sneaking around in the shadows are the gun haters They are afraid to come right out and say we want all guns banned. These people are the most paranoid and wimpy people I have ever seen
If you have faith that your government will never come after you than you are living in fairy land.
Lets say that the government decides that the internet is the reason that all these people are becoming radicalized. And they pass a law that everyone has to turn in their cell phones and computers. If not you will be charged with a felony and jailed. Would you like a good little person turn in every phone and computer and go back to only land lines and tv. Or would you disobey the law and keep your phone and computer and fight the law because it is unconstitutional and against the first amendment.
If you give up one constitutional right they will soon come after the next one. There are already whisperings of making laws against hate speech. And you will go along and cheer on these laws until they come after your own sides hate speech.
