Jacinda Ardern “has shown the way” for other world leaders by banning military-style weapons after the mass shooting in Christchurch, the board says.
The New York Times editorial board praised New Zealand’s crackdown on military-style weapons after last week’s mass shooting as the U.S. neglects to take such action after dozens of them.
On Thursday, in an op-ed titled “America Deserves a Leader as Good as Jacinda Ardern,” the board applauded the New Zealand prime minister’s ban on the guns in the wake of the attack on two Christchurch mosques in which 50 people were killed.
“That attitude stood in stark contrast to the way the National Rifle Association and its political allies in the United States have resisted any restrictions on weapons like the AR-15, the semiautomatic rifle used in several mass killings,” the Times board wrote, denouncing U.S. politicians’ ties to the gun lobby.

We do, but ain't happening, too much private money and special interests involved in American politics, no one who can actually initiate change is ever going to take a courageous stand on an issue.
Guns is a good example, if first, second, and third grade kids getting massacred by semi-automatic weapons didn't do it nothing will

New Zealand has nothing comparable to the 2nd amendment as a right to own arms. Pretty simple no matter how the left tries to spin it.
How many times do you have to explain the Constitution to people that tell everyone they love the Constitution?
I won't even go into the prefatory clause again, goes right over their head, but the fact is no Constitutional right, none, zero, zilch, is absolute, they all can, and are, regulated
End of argument, if it ever was one
