Do not give the government your firearms.

That could be about correct in my community. A quick informal check at church revealed most of us age advantaged males were packing just one gun.

Wrong thing to do.

I hope they are never without protection when they need it.

LOL. I guess the true patriots there think they may have to “water” the Tree of Liberty eventually. Good for them.

Darwin’s IQ test: A group of citizens are murdered with a certain type of legal weapon: The proper social response is to (1) for citizens to disarm themselves from the same type of weapon, or, (2) keep the weapon for self defense?

The Tree has been producing poison fruit for quite some time now.

Pruning aint gonna cut it. Cut it down, dig it up, plant a new one from the seed stock we already have.

“The population of New Zealand is about the same as South Carolina. I bet there are more than 1.6M guns in the palmetto state vs. Kiwi (fruit or bird..?) land.”

Just for the fun of it, here’s a little story. In South Carolina, I pulled my car into a dealer’s garage for an oil change. The fellow in front of me told the service manager to wait a second while he emptied the trunk of its contents. He pulled out two rifles and two handguns.

Just suggesting that your 1.6M guns in SC might be a bit low.

Cheers.

Clem was huntin’ upstate along the North Carolina, Georgia border. He had just shot a possum and was putting it in his game bag when the game warden approached. The game warden says, “Whatcha got there son?”

Clem says, “Just doin’ a little huntin’ . I got me a couple squirrels, a rabbit and this here possum.” The game warden grabs the possum, sticks his finger up its hind end, sniffs it and says, “This here possum is from is from Georgia, you got a Georgia hunting license boy?”

Clem pulls out his Georgia license and hands it over. The game warden then grabbed a squirrel out of his bag, sticks a finger up its kazoo, sniffs it and says, “This here squirrel is from South Carolina, you got a South Carolina hunting license boy?”

Clem pulls out his South Carolina license and hands it over. The game warden then grabbed the rabbit, stuck his finger up its backdoor, sniffed it and says, This here rabbit is from North Carolina, you got a North Carolina hunting license boy?”

Clem pulls out his North Carolina hunting license and hands it over. The game warden is finally satisfied that his paperwork is in order. He gives it all back to Clem and says, “Where are you from boy?”

Clem pulls his pants down, turns around and says, “Why don’t you tell me!”

And on a humorous note, building in New Zealand has come to a halt because there’s no PVC pipe in the stores.

Because guy owners are buying it up to use to bury their firearms in rather than surrender them to the government.

Could be a bit of a salesmanship issue in “We, your government, have decided that you can’t have what you have anymore. Give it to us.” I could see getting a little cranky over that.

To say the least. Islam has made significant inroads there among the Maori - and then there was that scimitar-rattling from Erdogan, who gloatingly reminded the Kiwis of their military losses at Gallipoli. Seems like both sides are quietly seething.
