Late last night New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a ban on "military style" semi-automatic rifles in the country.

"Today I am announcing that New Zealand will ban all military-style semi-automatic weapons. We will also ban all assault rifles. We will also ban all high capacity magazines," she said. "We will ban all parts with the ability to convert semi-automatic or any other type of firearm into a military style semi-automatic weapon."

Democrat presidential candidate and socialist Bernie Sanders endorsed the move right away and said it needs to happen in the United States. He wants to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights overnight.

Oddly the Middle East Chapter of 'moms lookin' for a little action' was unavailable for comment, as were militant mooselimbs as they were busy slaughtering Christians. No comment from shannon t watts as of this post. As for NZ, how did she find the time to do this with all the hijab selection issues she must be facing. Kiwi? Shoe polish!

Interesting flip-flop for Bernie, as despite being very liberal Vermont is a pro-2A state, and he has long held that position in order to keep getting re-elected there.

It woulda been so much easier for them all if HillaBeans had just won the election.

Bernie the Bum.

[RatRipper]

Bernie is not a novelty. He is not a nice old man. He is evil to the bone.

Bernie was born in 1941. If elected President, he would turn 80 in his first year in office.

This might be his last round-up. That’s when you toss the positions that were useful in the past for those that might be useful right now. He has no more need to pretend to be consistent or principled on 2A issues... or much else, for that matter.

Guess Sanders is Berning his bridges behind him.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

A few hundred people die at the hands of crazed mass shooters each year.

Governments that disarmed their citizens murdered 262,000,000 of those citizens in the twentieth century alone.

Which poses a greater threat to innocent people? Armed citizens or armed government?

The MARXISTS are on the march. Quidado America!

[dp0622]

Good maybe he be ####ed out of that job too next election.

[I want the USA back]

The left wants to take guns from law-abiding non-violent citizens while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

[bk1000]

Sick of libs wanting to ban stuff. Mind your own business.

[YummiBox]

So the libs are firmly anti first and second amendment. I guess they need to thoroughly gut the Constitution so their dreams for the US to become another Venezuelan socialist paradise are to be realized.

[Old Yeller]

Like an old man sending soup back at a deli.

[Bayan]

Sanders is a Marxist. They depend on disarming the population as soon as they are in power.

i would let Bernie have his way getting such an unconstitutional, Anti=American, pro=dictatorship regulation

so long as

HE is the ONE (and only person) who will try to implement, enforce it

"We will ban all parts with the ability to convert semi-automatic or any other type of firearm into a military style semi-automatic weapon."

This statement is incoherent. What is a "military style" weapon?
