The organizers of New Zealand’s largest gun show say they have canceled the event to show respect for victims of the Christchurch massacre and because of “elevated security risks.”
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern vowed to tighten gun laws after the attack. She says banning private ownership of semi-automatic rifles, which were used to devastating effect in the attack Friday on two Christchurch mosques, is an option.
The Kumeu Militaria Show, near Auckland, has been held for about five years. …

These leftists would cancel Christmas if they thought it would appease the islamic jihadists.
JoMa
Maybe the can have a machete show in honor of Islam.
They’re taking it exactly the wrong way. If a good person in either target had been armed, things could have turned out very differently for the others there. Stopping the gun show reduces the probability that a good person will be armed at any future such event.
Why? The gun show didn’t have anything to do with the loony toon shootin’ up the place.
Well, when did any “mass shooting” ever stop Obama from pushing “common-sense gun control”? Same thing happening in this instance.
Now a pic of this Ardern wearing Mahometan headgear is trending online, to make matters worse. She’s a recent head of the International Union of Socialist Youth, to boot. She has no qualms about making her power grab here over the corpses of the shooting victims.
Ardern will never admit that she and Tarrant are ideological twins.
That's LOGIC. Does not apply...
They've just banned all semi-auto weapons. The chances of stopping the next crazy has just been reduced to negatives...
Like any “ new age of Aquarius” lefty government, the answer to every shooting tragedy is to remove the freedoms enjoyed by the entire population of New Zealand.
It wasn’t the gun that killed these Muslims, it was the man who pulled the trigger, the insane leftist eco-liberal fascist whose extreme leftist views resulted in his foul immoral conduct.He was not from the right, not an alt. right conservative as the media now portrays him.
Now as a result of his conduct everyone in New Zealand who owns a semi automatic rifle needs to dehumanized and stigmatized? F—k Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her lefty labor party, a weak kneed bunch of freedom grubbers, who take away the freedoms of the people as a result of this murderous tragedy, when she should be preserving the freedom of the people altogether. Reduce freedom = Muslim Sharia wins. Very bad.
Those 'thousands of protestors' were downtown for the Cinco de Mayo parade, and didn't give a crap about Columbine or the NRA.
Fun Fact: Two American Billionaires who have recently become citizens of New Zealand: Peter Thiel (formerly of Facebook) and Steve Wozniak (Co-Founder of Apple) .

Ha! Good point.
Exactly the wrong thing to do. It is like adding blood in the water to sharks.
It shows weakness, and implies guilt.
None of the dead Muslims who died and went to Hell was the fault of the shooter.
That was their own choice to reject Jesus.
None who died and went to Hell would have changed their mind given extended time in the future; God knows the future.
Those who have survived still have the chance to accept Jesus. God has extended their time for this purpose. We will all have to wait and see how that works out.
That said, the act of this insane shooter is not to be emulated, to help God or for any other reason.
Very, very worth a double post.
