New Zealand instantly turned law abiding citizens into felons at 1500 NZDT today ...

[Chainmail]

It's interesting that both Australia and New Zealand immediately banned semiautos without a whimper after each country suffered massacres by a pair of sickos.

Different mentality, I guess: we have our Constitution and the resolve to believe in the majority of our citizens to responsibly and capably keep and bear arms.

Before anyone gets all wistful about New Zealand, remember that it was New Zealand that decide to stage a dockworker's strike for more money as the 1st Marine Division was combat loading their ships for the attack on Guadalcanal. The Marines had to load all their own attack transports and much of the food was destroyed as it sat on docks in the rain.

Here we were, risking our young men's lives to save NZ and Australia from the onrushing Japanese and those clowns risked all of it for more money.

Of course they gave up their guns!

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes.

...Or not.

Incremental disarming of the world.

I’m sure the Progre$$ives are tickled pink. Can’t make lemonade without lemons.

“Police focus is on ensuring the immediate safety and peace of mind of our communities. “

Bleeping morons.

NZ would be the perfect place to become a thief or terrorist now.

And here I thought that New Zealand was some sort of democracy. Who's going to defend them?

Is there any opposition to gun seizures? Will they feel safer disarmed?
