Maybe New Zealand is just catching up to their larger neighbor.
Military type weapons have been banned in Australia for a long time. These laws are totally locked in. The Australian public supports strong gun laws by over 85%. All guns must be licensed and registered. A gun license is only issued upon demonstration of need. Personal defense is not considered sufficient need.
Everyone in Australia is required to vote by law.

Seim-automatic weapons are designed to kill as many human beings as possible in the shortest amount of time. they have NO other use which requires the semi-automitic capability. As such they have no lelgitimate place in the hands of civilians. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

I would think there would be a mass movement for American leftists to move to the now 100% safe New Zealand where they will never have the risk of being shot by one of those scary AR15s
Cuz you aren’t banning them here. Get over that notion. You never will. We don’t care how many 6 year olds die.

Americans debated the issue to themselves the night they came home from work and saw the Sandy Hook Massacre on the news. And most Americans were so shell-shocked to see that on their news, they immediately started asking the question to themselves and their families, "Why not ban the rifle"?
I still say, why not, just because of it's dangerous bullet, it's velocity, and it's clip sizes that are available.

The minute you say “clip sizes” you disqualify yourself from the discussion
You should tell your democrat party candidates to run on a platform of banning guns along with the Electoral College. They sound like winning issues in 2020. We are talking Reagan like landslide.
