Because we all know mass attacks always come from law abiding gun owners. What a crock.

No ... no one had a gun to stop him. At the first mosque, he was almost stopped by someone rushing at him and had a hand on the gun, it looked like. But, the shooter managed to shoot and kill the guy. He was only a second away from disarming him.

At the second mosque, the cleric there threw a credit card machine at the shooter (LOL) and then used himself as a decoy to get the shooter away from the other people. He then picked up one gun that the shooter discarded and threw it at the shooter when he was in the car and busted out the window.

So ... no ... no one drove him off with guns.

And how many are running to Gun City (sort of their Cabela’s) to get them while they can?

A former gun blogger on YouTube (in NZ) mentioned that there was a similar turn-in drive in the 90s after the laws regarding semiautos changed. Many owners turned them in...many others sold them into the black market to recover their money.

“NZ has a larger population of sheep than previously estimated...”

If God had not wanted them to be sheared He would not have made them sheep.

Soon the Kea parrots will find the two legged sheep have tasty kidneys to rip out.

I met some Kiwi’s in Bali in 2001.
They told me much of the country has given up with politics as the Ruling Class does what it wants and ignores voters.
It all makes sense now

New Zealand has become a part of the Deep State. It is a country chock full of two and four legged sheep who would rather give up their freedom and liberty than defend them.

A terror attack is like an act of war.

So, a person from another country launches an act of war against your country, and your response is to ask your own citizens to turn in their weapons?

Are they going to destroy their cars to prevent terrorists from plowing into a crowd of people? Are the going to cut off their penises to prevent rape?

Maybe if some of them had had one on them in their mosques the whole story would have been different.

“ "Until today, I was one of the New Zealanders who owned a semiautomatic rifle," one gun owner, farmer John Hart, wrote on Twitter. "On the farm they are a useful tool in some circumstances, but my convenience doesn't outweigh the risk of misuse.“

Farmer hart needs to take a good look at South African white farmers and what they are going through. Muslims will do the same to him once their numbers are great enough.

“A number of gun owners”? How many? Two is a number of gun owners.
