Every totalitarian enjoys surfing a wave of emotion after a Reichstag fire. But when an ice cream truck runs down 99 it just doesn’t generate the same impetus for a ban.

New Zealand is going down a one-way road I’m afraid.

Yep. I was in Ct after Sandy Hook and witnessed in horror as the Dems, with Republican capitulation, made self defense illegal by imposing draconian gun control regs. There was no stopping them.

So... When the conquerors come (we just don’t know yet precisely when, or from where, internal or external, we just know eventually they WILL come) and the military is defeated, as someday it surely will (I include in “defeat” the possibility the military will simply become a willing tool of the darkness)… Then, cruelly, The People will have no arms to fight the tyrants.

Tonight, I say a prayer for New Zealand. They will need it, and more.

I think I have found the main problem...

 

 

 

 

Under New Zealand law, some lawful, proper, and sufficient purpose is needed to use, discharge or carry any firearm, airgun, or similar weapon. The person carrying, using, or discharging the weapon is obliged to prove the purpose was lawful, proper, and sufficient. This requirement applies even if the person can legally possess the weapon. Exactly what constitutes a lawful, proper, and sufficient purpose is not defined in legislation and must be proven on a case by case basis. Hunting game, pest control and agricultural uses, sports, collection, and theatrics are all normally acceptable purposes but personal protection and self-defence are not.
