Multiple dead in shootings at multiple mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand

[Denny347]

Right, but the body armour is probably equally important or more so than the gun. After all, crazy dude just starts shooting and yer first the gun don't mean much. The body armour buys you the time, hopefully, if shot to actually return fire.

The gun is critical, surviving to use it? I'd say just as much if not more so.

Of course, I don't have body armour so I'm hopeless... but I do think about it.

If the guy shoots you first... you're probably dead anyway

Yup, armor saved my buddy's life. BG got the drop on him (action beats reaction) and Greg took one to the gut. The armor allowed him to return fire and kill the BG.

The only thing that shocks me is that it took so long.

Considering the past and forces at play, yeah why not.

Or maybe it didn't really happen, like Sandy Hook.

Seriously?

The Mossad is in the business of killing a handful of peaceful families on the other side of the world?

Yup.

Well apparently only 37 Kiwi guns have been turned in so far.

I’m still astonished that they can implement a law before it’s even passed through Parliament.

USA: hold my beer

Radio this morning said they will pass it this week and it goes into affect 4/12

They've been asking people to turn them in now. When it's official I wonder what the capitulation rate will be.

If I lived down there I’d tell ‘em to go straight to hell because I’m no more responsible for what happened in Christchurch than any ordinary American citizen is for any mass shooting here. The stupid seems so obvious. Why are we penalizing droves for the actions a handful? Not me, no sir. Come and take them.

That's also done here.
All gun owners are guilty of whatever some deranged person does.

They need to ban a bunch of other stuff too.
Like cars, cigarettes, alcohol, high voltage electricity, swimming pools ... and a bunch of other stuff that kill people.
Nobody will ever die in New Zealand.

Was the 1 no vote sane? Or was it an extremist who voted no because it doesn't call for the capital punishment of gun owners.

New Zealand just joined the list of countries that INGO could conquer.

Dude, it was filled with Hobbits and men bragging about their decks... we could always conquer it.

After about three months, only 700 guns have been turned in out of about 1.5 million (< 0.05% compliance rate).

From the same article: apparently gun owners have learned from Australia's 1996 confiscation that resulted in about a 20% compliance rate.

Time to bump this thread with a follow-up...

In a "shocking" development. Violent crime has risen in New Zealand since their gun confiscation:
