New Zealand truly is the land of sheep. Something has happened there, a mass psychological disturbance that has the populace supporting a government that reacts hysterically to perceived threats.
New Zealand truly is the land of sheep. Something has happened there, a mass psychological disturbance that has the populace supporting a government that reacts hysterically to perceived threats. Locking down an entire country and isolating it from the rest of the world (and thereby slowing the spread of herd immunity) as if the virus would simply skip the isolated archipelago.
Now, with few Kiwis having recovered from Covid and herd immunity nowhere near, cases are skyrocketing:
SNIP
With its human population emulating its more numerous sheep neighbors, New Zealand now is making real a joke that has been told for years. In the past, Second Amendment supporters have joked that if guns are outlawed, people will just turn to knives. “What are yhou going to do? Outlaw knives?
New Zealand has answered” yes!
OAN reports:
Knives and scissors have been removed from supermarket shelves in New Zealand after a recent stabbing attack. Supermarket chain Countdown said on Saturday, a partial “knife control” would be in effect for several weeks to prevent stabbing attacks going forward.
This decision came after a Sri Lankan national injured six people at a Countdown location in Auckland last Friday. Authorities said the attacker was inspired by the Islamic State to carry out the attack. (snip)
Several other supermarket chains also removed knives from their shelves over the weekend. It remains unclear when this self-imposed “knife control” would end.
What’s next? Banning rope because it can be used to strangle people?

Just like the UK.
The left wants to totally disarm the populace leaving them no means to defend themselves.
No NO NO , not the cabbage.
When cabbage is banned only outlaws & royalty will have cabbage.
Yup. The leftists are funny about that electricity stuff.
They want to mandate its use, ban everything else, increase the cost, regulate & tax who can have it and then criminalize its existence.
It’d be better to ban the Sri Lakan’s.
New Zealand is lost. It started when the then president sold all of its fighter jets.
It is amazing how fast government can work to do the thing they want to do once they get the slightest justification. But I heard that the New Zealand government had been “working” for years to deport the Sri Lankan terrorist who went all stabby recently. Would it take 5 minute to deport Donald Trump if he showed up in Wellington passing out MNZGA hats?
And do they think they should not learn from history???
"A frightful Japanese broadcast has steeled us for the worst. It came through two nights before I left. A Japanese professor was describing New Zealand and how it would be developed by the Japanese.”“Maoris, as true members of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, will be allowed special priveleges. White men will be used on the farms. He said that the lush fields, the wealth, the cities were in their grasp at last. The day of reckoning with insolent New Zealanders was at hand. Immortal Japanese troops would know what to do."
"The old men--well, your wife's father and mine, for example. They are stationed at the beaches. They know they dare not retreat. They have taken their positions now."
"The home guard is next. They have been digging in furiously. They occupy prepared positions near the cities and the best beaches. The regular army will be thrown in as the fighting develops. Everyone has decided to fight until the end. The cities and villages will be destroyed."
"Many families have gone to the hills. Cars are waiting to take the others at the first sign of the Jap fleet. My wife and the kiddies have gone. Your wife...said to tell you that she will stay until the last."
"It was my humble duty to assist in preparing the defenses of Auckland. I issued several thousand picks, crowbars, and axes. There were no other weapons."

You forgot to add Stupid Politicians to the list
Time to blame James Cook for discovering some islands to the east of some penal colony
I already had a boating accident with my cavalry saber and Royal Navy boarding ax. Looks like I need to go canoeing again with the steak knives.
Just looked at quick-open pocket knives on Amazon. Think I’ll get one while they’re still available.
You forgot pomegranates - they can leave an ugly welt...
Knives are inanimate objects.
Terrorists and politicians are the problem.
Also, things that are blunt are banned, and things that are heavy are banned, and things that are blunt AND heavy are RIGHT OUT AS WELL!!!
Well, lets see... that about cover it then???
All shrubberies shall be banned.
