Oh, it's my go to regardless of push back.

The post in question I thought was completely unambiguous when I even noted a reason why fewer guns is a good.

I'd say the vast majority of guns which are now illegal are owned by white men, which is precisely the demographic I'd like to see fewer guns in. Heck, I would have gone a step further and banned everything capable of semi-auto fire.

New Zealanders surrender thousands of firearms five months after Christchurch massacre

Thousands of firearms have been handed in and millions of dollars in compensation has been handed out during the first month of New Zealand's public gun collection events.

The events have been held in the wake of the Christchurch shootings.

In March, 51 people died and 49 were injured when a lone gunman stormed into two mosques and opened fire with semi-automatic weapons and shotguns.

Within weeks, New Zealand's Parliament voted for tough gun law reforms, including a ban on semi-automatic firearms and a buyback scheme.

One month ago, the first public gun collection event was held in Christchurch, just a few kilometres from where the massacres took place.

More than 70 similar events have been held around the country since.

New Zealand police told the ABC that in the buyback's first month, more than 8,000 weapons and 33,000 parts had been surrendered.

Almost $17 million in compensation has been paid.

Yes the fantasies of the USAian gunfondlers have come to nothing. Surprising really.

Now hopefully this will inspire similar restrictions in the USA, before too many thousands are murdered.

Read cullenz post above.
Seriously.
You're making yourself look pretty dim.

I'm noticing a lot of "conservatives" don't mind looking dim. I'm still trying to figure out if this is a tactical advantage.
