New Zealand’s prime minister wastes no time in attempting to disarm the New Zealand populace:
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is calling for change following the country’s deadliest mass shooting ever.
On Friday morning, at least one shooter opened fire at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, leaving at least 49 dead and dozens more injured. Ardern qualified the shootings as a “terrorist attack” in a morning news conference, saying this will remain “one of New Zealand’s darkest days.”
Ardern revealed more details about the shooter in a news conference later in the day, saying the “primary perpetrator” used five guns in their attacks. They had a gun license to carry the “two semiautomatic weapons and two shotguns,” and they got that license in November 2017, Ardern continued. So given that fact — and that there had been three failed “attempts” to change gun laws in the past — Ahern pledged “our gun laws will change.”
The same tactic worked in Australia and England, after all. Not so well in the United States, where the descendants of the American Revolution know better than to permit themselves to be disarmed by their government.
