Ever notice when a muzzy kills people there is no call to ban weapons or knives or bombs?

-—and I am wondering what the gazillionaires who have supposedly set up their retreats for the “Doomsday” scenario there now feel about it with the Muslim pandering of the NZ government?

Next time a drunk driver kills someone, we need to make sure we push hard to get vehicles banned.

Next time someone dies from a baseball bat, we need to ban them.

I think you get it, the list goes on.

They want us not able to defend ourselves. Then the new world order can come and push their weight around.

“This is what leadership looks like,” marveled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Uh, no dummy, that's what tyranny and a dictatorship looks like. Nothing good will come from NZ's insane new dictate.

A gun shop owner sold the shooter four firearms after the Australian got the required New Zealand license. The one shown in the video came from an unknown source.

Obummer and HillaBeans both have no problem with the muslins, so there must be some fundamental understanding that allows for the pandering.

I use to think of Australians ..and new Zealanders as rugged undividuals..not so much anymore.
Then again we’ve allowed a couple million?.. 2000 mosques. into this country.
Why? They are not freedom loving..they will not assimilate.
Likewise upwards of 60 illegal invaders.
Crazy..suicidal?

NZ is run by idiots. You never ever rush laws through in the wake of a tragedy.

Did he say “...and will lose both”? Or is that a later addendum?

Anyway... he should have said it.

I loved Chapman’s column in the 80’s. He is most responsible for me becoming a Libertarian. Now I’ll read his headlines going back a year and see he’s a never Trumper. He’s changed like the rest of them.

Rumor making the rounds is that the shooter was not “vetted” properly for his license...either he was not interviewed in-person, like the police are supposed to do, or the two references that he supplied were just names picked off the internet, and were themselves never interviewed.

Let me guess, kids are spray painting words like “Tarrant did pest control” or such on buildings?
