New Zealand Bans Assault Style Weapons.......

https://www.vox.com/2019/3/21/182727...an-us-gun-laws

That was quick.

The article says that this could not happen here because of the NRA.

Wrong. It could not happen here because we have a Bill of Rights in our Constitution that protects a citizens right to keep and bear arms.

Polititians really don't like having to bother with pesky things like that.
It's Vox so it's likely a lotta hype.

Doesn't really say what NZ did. Does say you already have to have a license to have a gun. Did the people who did the killings have licenses? As mentioned many times before: 90%+ of the guns in America were used in war or a gun very similar was used.

Did AUS buy back and outlaw guns? Didn't they have a mass shooting a couple of months ago?

Red meat for Dims.

It cant happen here because gun nuts would rather watch people get blown away in schools and concerts than make any real change. Republicans even want the mental fucks to have guns.
In the USA
More people die from medical malpractice than from guns

Where is the outrage against quack doctors?

You assume the law will make it more difficult or impossible for criminals to obtain a weapon. It might for that weapon.

They'll just use another.

Outlaw AR-15s and they'll still have handguns & shotguns. Out law all guns, they have knives. Outlaw knives, they have clubs. Then if all else fails, unless we are will to turn back technology 500 years or more, prole will always be able to make IEDs.

Keep outlawing things until we all must use our hands to wipe our asses because someone used toilet paper to make a shiv.

Laws won't prevent criminals from harming innocents ,if they can't get whatever it is that was outlawed they use something ekse. It only handicap the law abiding citizen's ability to protect themselves.

Also you understand that most school shootings still use handguns?

Why the push to outlaw something that kills less than 400 people annually while ignoring what kills 97% of people in gun fatalities?

It's completely illogical.

Grean - you are correct - Gun bans take self-protection from law-abiding citizens, and no criminal turns in a weapon.

DPST's are not able to propose any action that would address keeping weapons out of the hands of potential perpetrators - they simply want to disarm the entire population. It is religiosity politics and no facts will every sway their fervor to be afraid of a black semi-automatic rifle - that is NOT AN ASSAULT WEAPON.

Adherence to Truth is not a point of sanity for DPST's as above!


To Trey Above - You are just Baiting and Chumming - You are well aware You posted a deliberate Lie.
Typical DPST behavior.

Numbers don't lie. Politicians do.


Every practical example in history shows disarming the public at best, doesn't do anything to make people safer, at worst, it could get them killed.

Its shit like this that is dividing an already very partisan culture.
Republicans years ago wanted stricter mental health laws in order to purchase firearms! But guess what? It was the alcu that screamed violating amendment issues and the dems got the law shot down! Now they are proposing the damn near the same law and accusing the NRA and Republicans of not wanting it! Bullshit!
