It's funny what some people think is "fired up." This forum is so tame that it's safe to leave it home alone with 3 year olds.

Fired up.

I uncrossed my legs I was so outraged...

I read at the BBC coverage that NZ laws are actually not too bad, in principle.

The license thing isn't ideal, but its not as bad as Australia.

To own, you have to have the license, but to carry you have to have a "proper" reason. Of course that's subjective. So NZ's laws suck ass, but not quite as much ass as Australia's?

It seems they have been successful in scrubbing the video. I can't find it anymore since this morning.

It's pretty hard to get something removed from the internet, just ask Axl Rose.

I haven't seen the video, but when I was looking for a copy of the manifesto earlier, I saw a place where both the vid and the manifesto were up for download.

Funny, how many "news" pieces were right on it to give people the particular bits of the manifesto that they wanted them to see, but none of those "news" stories included a link or any way for readers to read the actual thing in it's entirety.

...Killing of innocents in their place of worship has no place in any civilized society.

There was a time when I thought this was a universal truth, so obvious it need not even be stated.

That time was yesterday.

I agree with that.

Indiana's LTCH requirement sucks ass compared to constitutional carry. But Indiana's a metric shton better than most other states.

Dinesh is way wrong on this. International Islamic terrorism makes the news constantly.

Any act of terror is evil. But if a Muslim guy shot up a church in New Zealand it would not be news here. The media is going crazy over this #MosqueAttack for one reason: it fits their narrative. Muslims good, white man bad! So part of the story here is how #FakeNews is made

I'm going to need a score card.

People of what faith are allowed to shoot people of what faith for no good reason?

The main suspect in the mosque shooting that killed 49 people in New Zealand on Friday had five guns and a gun licence, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said.
"The offender was in possession of a gun licence. I'm advised that this was acquired in November of 2017," Ms Ardern said. "I can tell you one thing right now, our gun laws will change."

Well, that was quick.

I'm sure they will change their laws to make it legal for their citizens to carry guns to defend themselves, not to make it harder for anyone to own a gun.

Just another knee jerk reaction. It's ridiculous, they're just chasing a phantom. One man commits an atrocious act, and rather than acknowledging the underlying problem, or the reason the casualty count was so high, let's just make it even harder for people to have guns. Maybe we should have banned air travel after 9/11. Just ground and water travel from now on.

Guns are the easy target. No one wanted to ban moving vans after extremists ran over several people in London, New York, Toronto... But after a shooting, they want to take guns away. The motive is clear. It has everything to do with disarming citizens, and nothing to do with safety.
