Many New Zealand gun owners have voluntarily surrendered their semi-automatic rifles to police following Friday's terror attack at two mosques in Christchurch, Newsweek reported.
Some have taken to social media to encourage others to follow their move.
"Until today, I was one of the New Zealanders who owned a semi-automatic rifle," farmer John Hart tweeted. "On the farm they are a useful tool in some circumstances, but my convenience doesn't outweigh the risk of misuse.
"We don't need these in our country. We have [to] make sure it's #NeverAgain."

You mean like...(pointing index finger with thumb up, at temple)?
If they all jumped off a roof would you?
Didn’t they know they were supposed to first write a lengthy self-criticism, then turn in their guns before turning themselves in to their local authorities?
Hate it when ppl can’t follow simple, long-established Leftist protocol.
The last of it was him driving away, while sirens screamed past in the other direction... Too little, too late.
I'd like to think that a 230 gr. Hydroshok, next to his nose...
I believe that John Hart guy is an aspiring politician (Green Party), so...
Like the Aussies, they may be our Anglo-cousins, but they ain’t Americans.
Idiots.
Sheep
Pink Floyd
Hopelessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I’ve looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem
What do you get for pretending the danger’s not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise
The look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water
Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead
You better stay home
And do as you’re told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

“Like I can’t eat meat because the baby down the street hasn’t gotten its teeth yet; or, I have to give up my car because the neighbor keeps getting drunk driving tickets.”
It is a fundamental lack of both rational thought and morality to punish those who have done nothing wrong, based on what they COULD potentially do, when someone else is the actual perp that did something wrong. As the mythical general told a mythical reporter (because this IS an urban legend): “Well, all females are equipped to be prostitutes, but we don’t punish them because of it.”
What is next knives cannot have points
“A single shot bolt action rifle” Huh? A bolt gun yes, but not a ‘single’ shot. It was fed via an internal magazine.
That’ll be the least of it
An unarmed citizenry is useless. Maybe they should be discussing how long it took the police to arrive, maybe they should be arming everyone in their self-defense.
“BTW-—this was originally on the The Blaze but FR would not let me post that-—really?”
Can’t post the Epoch Times either. They have several good conservative writers. Yes they may have a few bad ones. But that is no different than GP having Jim Hoft who hypes everything.

Cucks.
I am getting the impression that the NZ government is severe deepstate. Many of the political elite from the US have bugout homes there. Then there is Kim.com- If ever there was a government that was a threat to their people then NZ is one.
I’m afraid you’re right. They deserve to be slaves.
Even though this single-action gun did not have semi-auto function, you could quickly discharge each round in the six round cylinder by fanning back the hammer repeatedly. This one, because of it preservation, sold for $4002. You would not want the government stealing this one from you because of excessive round capacity.
