BREAKING: New Zealand Attorney General Announces Ban on Semi-Automatic Guns
The Truth About Guns ^ | 03/15/19 | Dan Zimmerman

Posted on 03/15/2019 10:24:28 PM PDT by Simon Green

From newstalkzb.co.nz:

The crowd in attendance at a vigil at Auckland’s Aotea Square cheered loudly when Attorney-General David Parker said the Government would ban semi-automatic rifles.

He warned of a global rise of extremism.

“There is a dimming of enlightenment in many parts of the world,” he said.

“How can it be right for this atrocity to be filmed by the murderer using a go-pro and live-streamed across the world by social media companies?

“How can that be right? Who should be held accountable for that?”

The answer is obvious: New Zealand’s law-abiding gun owners. They’re the ones who will pay for a crazed killer’s murder spree by giving up a piece of their gun rights and their property.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern vowed she’d crack down on gun rights.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speaks following mosque mass shootings: "I can tell you one thing right now: Our gun laws will change.”

And with the Attorney General’s pronouncement, Ardern moved swiftly to make good on that promise.

Speaking to media in Wellington this morning, Ardern stressed that “now was the time for change.”

Ardern said five guns were used by the primary perpetrator, including two semi-automatic weapons, and two shotguns.

“The offender was in possession of a gun licence,” Ardern said.

American civilian disarmament activists are cheering the New Zealand government’s swift reaction.

All is proceeding just as the shooter had planned.

New Zealand deserves its fate. You people there elected these idiot sociopaths as leaders and they are going to let you be destroyed.

New Zealand’s law-abiding gun owners are the ones who will pay for a crazed killer’s murder spree by giving up a piece of their gun rights and their property?........How about the death penalty brought back for anyone who plans and commits murder....that would be a good start as you’d eliminate those people from the population.

“And wear a Muslim headscarf while you do it.”

Yes, catering and kowtowing to the satanic death cult is beyond the pale. It’s called submission

Note the muslim countries that slaughter Christians by guns and every other weapon imaginable, do not go and ban said weapons.

Libtards are doing this to wipe out the higher sides of the bell curve population right under their own noses.

If they ever wise up they better start taking these so-called enlightened leaders out en masse before their suicidal policies literally kill them off.

"They’ll probably turn in a few old and crappy guns and keep their good ones."

Yep, hide them in that attic - as opposed to doing what they ought to do and telling the bastards to come and take them. But no matter, guns aren't for Kiwis, they are for free men and women that don't ask for permission to be free.

I hope someone brings up the name Stephen Willeford to these idiots.

I’m getting really tired of being blamed for the actions of monsters.

So more unarmed people ready for slaughter. Consider it took 17 minutes for police to stop this latest murderer. Seventeen minutes to kill and kill with no one armed to stop it.

Re: This incident smells very, very false flaggy to me.

Every article I have read about this explicitly mentions “Right wing extremism.”

Heads up, Conservatives.

The Political Left is coming for EVERYTHING!

Actually, I’m surprised that civilians have been permitted to own firearms at all, in that Socialist Utopia of New Zealand. I figured their gun laws were even more draconian than Australia’s.

Knee-jerk totalitarian leftist strikes again. Can’t have a person be responsible. Nope. Punish law abiding citizens for a freak criminal act. I despise these people.

The shooting victims were already disarmed. Does nothing normal go on in her head?

The shooter stated among other things he hoped to jumpstart CWII here

Has anyone actually seen him say that?

Or is that the conservative-hating-Media's useful spin on this?

Seems a lot of Big Leftist Media are already primed & ready to exploit this tragedy.

Gun ownership in New Zealand is categorized as “restrictive” - as civilians are not allowed to possess handguns, military-style semi-automatic weapons.. without a permit.

Well, who could have seen this coming.

On a side note, i’m not certain that all linguists would consider the language spoken in New Zealand English anymore.

A textbook case of linguistic drift. It offends my ear evem more than Canadian.
