    Gun control doesn't stop criminals or homicides. And did you read in the Yahoo article where Yahoo writer said New Zealand has average of one mass shooting a year, while the United States has an average of one per day. ONE PER DAY!!?? Where the hell are they getting those figures. Out of the sky and hoping to make people believe it. And some will! More fake news.

    New Zealand is almost the same to Australia in every single way, that includes gun control laws.

    manifesto also said:

    Tarrant asked himself “were/are you a supporter of Donald Trump?” The manifesto gives this answer: “As a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose? Sure. As a policy maker and leader? Dear god no.”

    New Zealand has 1.2 million registered guns. If guns were as bad as liberals say wouldn’t they have a much higher gun homicide rate? They average in the single digits every year.

    Why would people who are willing to kill others give a crap about gun laws.

    In America we made many drugs illegal all over the country, yet opioid addiction and abuse is one of our biggest problem and the gangs that supply them are a problem too

    in the 1920's and 30's America outlawed Booze....and created the Mafia, organizaton who broke the law and provided booze and made millions

    Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the US and yet it has the highest gun violence and murder rates

    Anyone who think you will control things by making them against the law is only insuring that only criminals will have them

    BIG Time. They ALL have to have a license. And there are a lot of licenses. One article I read said 1.5 million firearms.

    I wonder what gun control laws they have in the Gaza Strip? And they get to have rockets too! I wonder if Democrats ever get upset about Iran giving rockets to Palestinians? I wonder when the Democrats are going to push a rocket-control law in the House?

    And this is the first mass shooting in New Zealand in almost 30 years (whereas the United States averages 1 per day).

    New Zealand's gun laws are actually pretty relaxed relative to most countries (except the United States, of course).

    Anyone 16 or older must pass a background check to obtain a firearm license.

    They have very strict gun control. But as stated by many before me gun control only works with honest citizens, not criminals.

    So we end up defenseless against the people who kept their guns hidden.

    Yes. Criminals ignore gun laws.
