I wondered why people didn't coin another saying, "You can have my guns after I've given you all the bullets." ...?
Or is that the "Red Flag" law: wanting to keep your gun proves you can't be trusted with it?
Same logic applied in the Salem witch trials in the late 1600s in Massachusetts.
One of the methods used to determine whether you were a witch or not, was for the religious leaders to throw the bound suspected witch, weighted down with rocks, into a pond or river.
If the suspect floated to the surface and managed to survive, they were considered guilty and burned at the stake.
If they drowned, they were considered innocent. But, unfortunately, they were also dead.
100% of those subjected to this test were drowned and considered innocent.
This is how liberals look at the innocence or guilt of their political opponents, including the uber-liberal prime minister of New Zealand, who ordered the gun confiscation.
Unintended consequences of not-so-well-thought-out policies. Classic liberal logic.
