New Zealand falling toward communism

[Allen]

New Zealand now has a ban on what democrats refer to as "assault rifles". Now the country will be 100% safe from any more acts of terrorism and not have to blame presidents from the other side of the world for their problems. Perhaps they can even disband their military and police forces now. Soon to be a s**thole country like Venezuela, Haiti or Kenya. All of this over a handful of worthless muslims that shouldn't have been in their country in the first place. It's like they were waiting for an excuse or and event to go "democrat".

Looks exactly like the 1989 George H. Bush gun control act/1994 Bill Clinton "crime control act" that freed America from all violence of any kind.

No matter where, criminals will always get the weapons they want.

They should have implemented the Cook County Violence Tax. $25 per firearms transaction plus 25c per round of ammunition. It helps the politicians to take a vacation away from all the shootings.

You know that, and I know that. But that's not the point -- these laws are meant to prevent the VICTIMS from shooting back.

That goes all the way back to the "gun control" laws that were erected to protect the Ku Klux Klan.

Kiwis take a different view, that turning the country into an armed camp is neither necessary or desirable. Make of that what one will.

DO NEW ZEALANDERS SUPPORT IT?

The ban is widely supported and puts New Zealand "almost exactly in line" with Australia, the United Kingdom and "somewhat with Canada," according to Professor Kevin Clements, chairman of Peace and Conflicts studies at the University of Otago and a firearms expert.

One of New Zealand's largest gun retailers, Hunting & Fishing New Zealand, said it supports "any government measure to permanently ban such weapons."

The company said it would no longer stock any assault-style firearms of any category and would also stop selling firearms online.

"What (Ardern's) done is a very brave move, and it's the kind of move that can only be done in a common-law country where guns are not a right. Guns are a real privilege. If there was a legal right like there is in the United States, this would be much more difficult," said International law Professor Alexander Gillespie of Waikato University.

But, he added, "it's going to be expensive, and there's going to be a lot of pushback."

I wouldn't say they're falling towards it, rather sliding into it. Remember those Commonwealth countries are all quasi-Socialist, and Socialism is Communism Lite.
Part of the Socialist goal is to eliminate freedom of expression and thought, and they realize-as Orwell pointed out-the best way to do that is get people to censor themselves. Say only what you're supposed to.

Then Arkansas is a Socialist state, judging from my online experience in this forum. But anyways, back to NZ. They're kinda by themselves out there in the southern ocean, so getting along without blowing each other's brains out may well be a high priority for them. We cannot easily judge from North America.

New Zealand was always a country where the use of silencers is considered polite as not to disturb the neighbors. I've known and dealt with a number of Kiwi collectors and a few smiths over the years.
I have very strong suspicions any knee jerk gun control in NZ is the result of outside influences.

yep,

NZ has been under the "single payer" system for all medicine for years. Family friends who emigrated there years ago, (It's much nicer than the US.) bailed out and came home after over twenty years because the health care system was tightly rationed and hard to access. Simply illustrates the difference between citizens and subjects. Regards, Clark

Well yeah, JB. The shooter was Australian! You can say the victims were aliens too, but I doubt the knee would have jerked the less for it had it been some other group.

[clintonhater]

You can say the victims were aliens

Yes, you can say that, but unwanted INVADERS describes them better...unless you can provide the details of a plebiscite on the issue; THAT, however, allowing the people to speak directly on whether or not they want to make room for such invaders, is the very last thing the ruling elites will allow.

No doubt, but that doesn't explain how such a pathetic brainless twit became their PM. Something SERIOUSLY amiss in that country for that to happen.

Does anyone know what she is referring to when she says "weepoons"?

A weepoon is a harpoon you shoot out of your penis.
