I think I have found the main problem...
Under New Zealand law, some lawful, proper, and sufficient purpose is needed to use, discharge or carry any firearm, airgun, or similar weapon. The person carrying, using, or discharging the weapon is obliged to prove the purpose was lawful, proper, and sufficient. This requirement applies even if the person can legally possess the weapon. Exactly what constitutes a lawful, proper, and sufficient purpose is not defined in legislation and must be proven on a case by case basis. Hunting game, pest control and agricultural uses, sports, collection, and theatrics are all normally acceptable purposes but personal protection and self-defence are not.

Come to America!
It might be a bit more dangerous; but my assault-style weapon gives me an ability to reach out and touch someone from quite a distance.
Also, the little thing tucked under my shirt might be helpful at church or Walmart someday.

I looked her up on wiki, and she apparently has a daughter, so my thesis is right out the window. Is that HER daughter or "her" daughter? BTW, wiki as a source? I don't believe word on wiki. The same wiki removed the original founder of Greenpeace as being the founder because he called AOC batshit crazy.
Wiki isn't to be trusted as a source. Anyone can edit/manipulate it.

From the killer's own manifesto...*
"I could have chosen any weapons or means. A TATP filled rental van. Household flour, a method of dispersion and an ignition source.A ballpeen hammer and a wooden shield.Gas,fire,vehicular attacks,plane attacks, any means were available. I had the will and I had the resources.I chose firearms for the affect it would have on social discourse, the extra media coverage they would provide and the affect it could have on the politics of United states and thereby the political situation of the world.
The politicians are handing the killer a win.

Sick of hearing about this story. Why is the media so interested in a story not in the United States? This should have been a 1-hour story and that’s it.

So through the act of an Australian, NZ citizens are now criminals in their own homes for having done no crime.

Yes, in the face of terrorism, its always best to disarm.

NewZealand is a beautiful land, and the Kiwis that I met when vacationing there were wonderful.
I’m not sure how the scum of humanity keeps rising to the political top in western countries ... Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Donald J. Trump being exceptions.

Because they want power and will do and say anything to get it. You knew some of them in HS.

The people supporting gun confiscation want safety and peace. So do we! But let’s be clear, you won’t have peace and security when all of your good men and women are essentially defenseless. Rights like borders belong to those that defend them.

I guess I’d be a one man revolt.The real Crocodile Dundee on the left stood up and died for his trouble, they took the guns anyway.
