Well I'm glad the Christchurch shootings are over, & I'm happy about the changes to gun regulation. Beliefs of racial or religious superiority are really just for stupid people, but I really feel for the Muslims here in NZ, some of whom are refugees. They deserve to feel safe
the NRA has been putting pressure on our Australian government to loosen gun laws. Anyone who doubts the success of outlawing guns only has to look at the statistics. I feel much safer knowing they're illegal. Doesn't stop the real criminals but it does stop impulse shootings, accidents and the crazies. '
I love NZ and my kiwi mates and am so so sorry that it had to be an Aussie that did this terrible deed. New Zealand, a country of peace, did not deserve this.
Trying to seize the guns of all law abiding citizens just because of one mad shooter was utterly insane and a typical knee jerk reaction of the liberal gun control nuts.
"Liberal gun control nuts"? "Mad shooter"?
The shooter was very sane, organised & deadly sincere about his beliefs.
We are NZers. We implement what works because we are a true democracy, & gun control works. Your corrupt political system failed here. The NRA even tried to get a toe in after the shootings, but we know who the real "mad shooters" are: the same people who invaded Iraq because they were attacked by people from a completely different country ?
@Trajan61 And how many americans shoot themselves or their mate in the foot every year?
I do not like religions but do not advocate killing people I prefer education logic and common sense.
Everyone deserves to feel safe. The Christchurch shootings are pure insanity and one way to stop it or at least limit it greatly would never be approved by the world at large. What if those who did such shootings were simply lined up and shot in the same way? No glorying or big speeches involved on either side, just a statement that we condemn mass murder and those who commit it.
@Allamanda I know you are correct here. It's just my frustration and anger that makes me want to deal with this type of killer in a no nonsense way and send a message to the followers of such killers that they have no promoted or advanced agenda in committing a massacre. Do not film them or show their stupid hand signs, or allow their words to go out to the world. If they have media websites take them down quickly, etc.
