New Zealand's semi-automatic rifle ban

Gun nuts always tell us that more gun control would lead to a dictatorship because the people would be unable to fight back against the government.
New Zealand is set to ban all semi-automatic rifles. Who wants to theorize how gun nuts will explain why New Zealand didn't become a dictatorship?

I wonder what would have happened in NEW ZEALAND...….if there had been a citizen packing on a carry and conceal license....like in California where there was no MASS MURDERING? If the folks in New Zealand just had the right to protect themselves...like US CITIZENS do because the US has a bill of rights written by a self governing people.:bigthink:


I wonder why leftists demand the right to disarm law abiding citizens.....but the laws already on the books can't stop the criminals from committing crimes?

FASCISM: Anyone?

The folks in New Zealand do have that right. Guns are legal in New Zealand and this happened before the crackdown. The AR-15 being legal and available did not stop the shooting.

Same reason we demand restaurants be regulated. We're willing to use the law for issues of public safety.
And very few Leftists want to ban guns entirely.

The laws aren't strict enough and are often unenforced.

Gun control isn't public safety. You have already been shown data compiled by the UN and the FBI that shows no correlation with the availability of guns and homicide rates.
