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?

If you don't see how the act is dictatorial, you're a fool.
 
That’s the first I have heard that theory.
It hard to compare New Zealand with the US.
Connecticut and California already have bans on assault weapons. How is that working out.
California violent crime rate is ranked 16 and is higher than national average of 394 per 100,000 residents.

You will always have a percentage of nut jobs in the world that are pure evil and will do harm whether they have an assault weapon or not.
Haven’t there been bombings. Haven’t there been nut jobs driving their vehicles into crowds.

Wouldn't banning ownership of something by those that didn't commit the act that prompted the ban be considered dictatorial?
 
And since you've supported the idea of Climate Change, when will this be occurring and the world ending (as we know it now)?

#whataboutism
If you want to talk about climate change, start a thread about it. This thread is about New Zealand becoming a totalitarian state as a result of their new gun control policy.
The reason you can't predict when this will happen is because you know it won't.

It's pathetically common. You may have heard the "Second Amendment protects the First Amendment" talking point.

Well there are other factors at play. California is also more racially mixed than the average state. And California is surrounded by states with looser gun control, which Californians are able to get guns from.

As for Connecticut, the crime rate has been dropping there.

But it's far easier to kill people with guns than it is with other weapons. Compare the number of mass shootings to the number of mass stabbings. We'll always have murder, but without assault rifles, we'll have a lot less.

It will happen at the same time Global Warming Climate change actually happens.

Are you ever going to prove your ASSertion, regarding smaller magazines??

Probably not, HUH.

:facepalm:
 
But you don't believe in climate change. So are you admitting it's not going to happen?

Ergo: Since you believe in climate change, then you're admitting that it will happen, in NZ. :good4u:

NOPE, I'm showing the stupidity of your question.

Kind of like me asking when you're going to pull that stick out of your ass. :D

But that's only one policy. When will New Zealand become a real dictatorship with no elections or freedom of speech?

It was only one policy when other dictators did it, too. At least you agree it's dictatorial to punish those that didn't take part in the act that prompted the knee jerk reaction. I thought you lefties claimed that everyone of a certain group, in this case gun owners, shouldn't be punished because of what a small number of a group do? Guess that only applies when you're protecting Muslims, faggots, minorities, and any of other "cause" to which the left panders.

It became a dictatorship when it banned semi-automatic weapons, IMO.

Are you going to emigrate to Kiwi-land, Jew hater?

No, I don't think it's dictatorial or a punishment. But even if you do, this would only be one thing. So when will New Zealand have a real dictatorship due to their new gun control?

Then we disagree, boy. You do seem to think what you believe is how everyone else should view them.

One thing is one too many. Why are you such a pussy when it comes to guns?

You're avoiding the question, because you know you're wrong.
