Fresh off the horrific terrorist attack in New Zealand, legislators are already looking at a massive ban on guns. The Daily Caller reports:
New Zealand’s prime minister set a timeline for her government to draft stricter gun laws, but didn’t reveal specific details after a meeting with her cabinet following Friday’s deadly mosque shootings.
“Within 10 days of this horrific act of terrorism we will have announced reforms which will, I believe, make our community safer,” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Monday in a news conference following the meeting, according to Reuters.
A suspected gunman has been detained after 49 people were shot and killed in two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, Friday.
Ardern said her cabinet is “completely unified” in changing the country’s gun laws, even though they were only able to reach “in principle” agreements Monday, reported The Guardian. She was expected by some to announce a ban on semi-automatic rifles after her attorney general called attention to the plan Saturday.
This is terrifying to Second Amendment supporters in America, and a reminder that gun rights are perpetually under threat from major government crackdowns.
Irrelevant to USA.
El dorko. Just like your handle, you’re an idiot. Islam is on a worldwide crusade. Look at Europe you dork. See what the Muslims are trying to do in Americas politics. NEW ZEALAND is a island country.TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK WHILE YOU CAN!
So how should this read…New Zealand ..Land of the Wuss! Take away firearms and protect the homeland with batons! Throw rocks and sticks at the attackers. Have plenty of caskets ready for those that get killed! Leftists are lunatics!
Do any of these morons understand taking guns away from law abiding citizens will do nothing to change shooting? How dumb can people be?
They didn’t COME UP with new gun confiscation laws. Like Libtards in the US, they already had ready and were just waiting for an excuse to ram them through based on EMOTION not logic.
That is correct. They have been waiting for an excuse to eagerly pounce on and exploit tragedy, with their pre-canned gun ban proposals.
I JOINED THE MILITARY IN 1952 BECAUSE OF THE THREAT OF N.KOREA, AND STAYED IN AND WENT TO SOUTH EAST ASIA IN 67-68. I DID NOT DO THIS SO THE #$#$#HEADS WASH COULD TAKE MY GUNS. STAND UP AND FIGHT WITH ALL THAT YOU HAVE AGAINST GUN TAKE AWAY.
We all need to understand a fundamental truth about the 2nd Amendment. That Amendment DID NOT GRANT A RIGHT. It only guaranteed that the Government ‘Shall not infringe’ upon that right. That Right is a “RIGHT” we are all born with and it shall not be infringed upon according to the 2nd Amendment. All Infringement is NULL AND VOID if you stand upon your Constitution. Illegal government encroachment and infringement upon that right is all illegal.
You are exactly right James. Not many people understand this fact.
New Zealand want to create a booming Black Market for the sales of guns, any kind of guns and/or weapons with no control on who has what and how many. Good luck with that.
When all guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
The streets would be overrun with outlaws, except we wouldn’t be the outlaws,the people trying to get our guns will be the outlaws.
were Mr. Conservative, The reason the leftist is getting away with all the crap there doing and the rino’s is because the so call republicans have no back bone. To put it plainly they are the weakest bunch of sissy’s I’ve ever seen . If the right would stand up to these people and put the fear of god in their hearts the politician’s would change their minds. But the people on the right want do shit but bitch about it. So yea the left will take your guns.
Demon murders people until a man with another gun stops him.
I think more guns in good guys hands makes more sense because criminal aren’t going to obey the gun ban.
Why would humans agree to being defenseless?
GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE DO.
Confiscation in the guise of “Safety for the people” is the first, and most well known way to take control f the people, and make them rely totally upon the government, and then institute tyranny. Let no one doubt that for a moment.
Evil doers and criminals do not obey gun laws. If someone in that mosque had been armed things would have turned out much different
If guns are banned, there is always the evil eye or the fuzzy eyeball!
Politicians always run to the microphones and want to act concerned. They should be concerned, but punishing law abiding people doesn’t fix anything. This is so common across all governments.
These politicians eagerly pounce to exploit tragedy and push their tyrannical schemes.
The problem is not the politicians running to the microphones. The problem is the people damn fool enough to listen to them.
King James III of Britany tried to do the same to his American colonists, and everyone knows how that turned out, and is the reason for our “Bill of Rights” and the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.
You are correct. “The Shot That Was Heard Around the World” … the British were coming to disarm the colonists…Our fight for freedom goes all the way back to the brave colonists.
I would like to clarify a point in your comments. King James was not king during the dispute with the American colonists. That rather dispectable dishonor goes to King George III. Your general premise concerning George’s “gun control & weapons confiscation” is correct , and was the main cause of the American Revolution.
Was he related to King George III of Britain?
Considering how quickly the authorities resort to gun confiscation after such an event, one would be foolish NOT to consider the likelihood or at least the possibility that the event was orchestrated to serve that end.
I totally agree with Dan Winright. He’s 100% right and that’s how you win. Good last name Dan.
Criminals & crazies don’t pay attention to laws!!!!! Just like Great Britain (aka UK), taking guns away from people WON’T SOLVE THE VIOLENCE PROBLEM (it will just morph to knives, driving vehicles into pedestrians,bombings, etc)
AFTER 911 PLANES SHOULD HAVE BEEN BANNED. WANT TO BUY A TOLL BOOTH?
THOSE WHO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY INTEND TO KILL YOU.
Of course, blame “the guns” because you are rabid Liberal retards.
The citizens of Nee Zealand, perish the thought, might have adverse comments to offer regarding this foolishness, who knows.
It doesn’t matter how strict of gun laws you pass the crime will go on. If people want to kill, there are all kind of knives, bombs etc to do the trick, but there will always be guns. The only thing it will do is take away the guns from the good citizens. What if the good citizen in NZ had not had a gun. How many more would have been killed. The criminals will get guns, just like they get drugs. Best case scenario is to arm all the citizens requiring them to take gun training.
Obviously new Zealand wants to become MUSLIM! Did they ask new zealanders if they want to become Muslim? Probably not. Death to Islam! No muslims in government! No muslims in law enforcement. No muslims period!.wake up people. SATAN IS ISLAM!
you got that right
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
Exactly!!!!
Exactly!!!
Foolish another government over reacting and removing their citizens ability to defend themselves! Stupid!
