New Zealand bans automatic weapons

New Zealand bans automatic weapons

Debates




How a reasonable society behaves. Australia has a gruesome mass shooting, institutes reasonable gun control, no mass shootings since.

New Zealand bans automatic weapons in what, 10 days after that horrific Christchurch mass shooting .

How long ago was Sandy Hook? How many mass shootings did you americans had? Will you ever wake up and get money out of politics so NRA can't buy whores in Congress? New Zealand bans automatic weapons, you hold mass shooting drills.


What kind of a country, instead of going against the interests of the NRA and their disgusting greed, advises teachers to just lock up the doors of the classroom and barricade themselves in and what, hope they get enough warning to do that because the shooter shot up students unfortunate to be in the first classroom in the corridor?

That won't stop crazy people.
The Virginia Tech shooter killed 30+ people with a handgun.
Take away the handguns and they run over pedestrians with a truck.
An Asian dude killed a bunch of kids with a knife.

Ban all trucks!!

Ban flammable liquids!!
Some dude tried to set 51 kids on fire.

In other words the politicians used the tragic deaths of these people to ram through their dream feelings at a highly emotive time.

Did you get that zahlooney? the politicians capitalize on the suffering of these people to pursue not only their own agenda but the stated agenda of the shooter.

Naturally you're on board with that.

"That won't stop crazy people."
Not all, no. It will make it harder for crazy people to kill non-crazy people.
Or do you consider a couple of people staying alive is worth you being slightly inconvenienced when buying a gun unless it saves anyone? (or in the case of many gun nuts, their fifth)

"The Virginia Tech shooter killed 30+ people with a handgun."
get stronger background checks next. psych evaluations.
And if you claim they wouldn't have stopped that mass shooter, there are a dozen other shooters they would have.

"Take away the handguns and they run over pedestrians with a truck."
You know, you're right, i did hear about that guy who drove a truck into each classroom and ran over children.

So your argument is that if you leave a bunch of guns around, people will use those to kill others instead of trucks.
Also, we do regulate trucks, we require psych eval, training, practice and only then we issue a license.
also, how much does a truck cost? Could it be it's much more expensive than a gun?

Would you like to make some more dumb comparisons?


"An Asian dude killed a bunch of kids with a knife."
so rather than have just the dude with a knife, let's have him and the one with the ar-15. great logic.

Let's use the death and suffering of innocent people for knee-jerk political gain (even if those gains were the stated objective of the shooter).

great zahlooney logic 🙄


@Zahlanzi

The point is you can't stop mass killings.

Guy drove a truck down a sidewalk and killed many. How do you plan to stop that?

You can't.

The "dumb comparisons" show people killing at a mass scale without assault rifles.

Banning assault rifles won't stop anything.

Because you can't stop all mass killings, don't try to stop any?

Next.


@Duchess64

A knife? Why not a truck down a busy sidewalk or a fire in an apartment building?
Or a bomb?
If you take away guns the killing won't stop. Only retards think like that.

Banning guns stops nothing but you having the ability to defend your home.

Crazy mass murderers will always find a way to kill a lot of people with or without guns.


If they Ban some guns it is only a matter of time before they Ban all guns.


... I'd rather be shot than run over by a truck.

😉

Try getting a truck into a mosque.


No need to.
Plenty of sidewalks with more people.

You people don't have a clue. You think gun laws will stop mass killings.
Let's say you win and all guns are banned.
When you turn on the news and see a mass killing with no guns what will you say then?


Ban the trucks!
Ban the knives!
Ban all flammable materials!

The problem with mass killings has nothing to do with the weapon used.
