New Zealand’s parliament on Wednesday voted almost unanimously to ban “military-style” semi-automatic weapons less than a month after 50 people were killed in mass shootings at a pair of mosques in the city of Christchurch.

Like most parliamentary democracies NZ has a tooth less bill of rights and right to bear arms is not part of it.

Remember that when a Muslim commits terror, we are told not to judge, that he is a lone wolf, do not lump all peaceful Muslims into his group. When a non Muslim kills, we blame it on a whole region, history, race of people, etc. Once you understand the ground rules, you will understand how political correctness works.
