> vast majority of legitimate gun owners in New Zealand will ... take these changes in their stride

where she admits in her ignorant NZ twang (which I used to find quaint and have stories about from when I was there) that it is targeted to law-abiding people.

uh, the Illegitimate gun owners - what about them?

"Because they want power and will do and say anything to get it."

Don't forget the other half of the equation. There are rich and powerful people that want our leadership positions to be filled with that type of person. They have built a system that encourages  cream  scum to rise to the top and rise to the top it does.

They have special rules. It looks like the NZ idiot actually carries.

I notice they don’t mention what precipitated the shootout.

I’ll bet he was 1. Psychotic and 2. Driven even battier by the five-time-a-day Muazzin call. That’s the sum total. His “manifesto” is nothing but a red herring to make sure MSM idiots chase around for corroboration of their pre-written narrative.

And when China some day decides to attack and invade both New Zealand and Australia, not one American life should be lost trying to defend these “countries.”

Let them do it themselves, or learn to speak Mandarin.

It won't be China, it'll be Indonesia. Though it'll be the Chinese who set them onto it, while the Chinese attend to a matter of more importance to them.

Taiwan.

You can't call them illegitimate, you racist! They're just undocumented.

Like it did in Finland in 1918, whem Finland's Socialist government announced that Finland was going to join with the new Russian Soviet Government by treaty, and there was nothing the Finnish people could do about it.

Actually, there WAS one thing the Finns could do, and they did it. Took 'em about four months.

At some point, Trump should get around to cleaning up the “Five Eyes.” Let’s hope no Americans are involved in gun confiscations in NZ.

Without traitorous help from the US, does NZ even have the forces to go rounding up guns?

Not really relatedly, TCM showed The China Syndrome last night. It was cool to see the “swat” team holding some vintage-looking ARs. Their van looked much more like a UPS truck than a Humvee.

I hope the US military gets its M16 replacements picked out soon. Then, ARs will be seen as the old technology they actually are.
