NZ Gun Law

Because mass murder still happens without the use of guns.

Mass shootings are commonplace in the USA because of easy access to guns. Why are you so against restricting easy access to guns?

I didn't realise they sold guns to nutters.

You can buy a gun down the local supermarket in the USA, then set about killing folks from a safe distance with zero planning and little effort. Ideal for nut-job mass murderers.

Ban 'em I say. What harm could it do sammi?​

How do you know?

I'm pretty certain that allowing a nutter easy access to guns encourages mass shootings. You only need look towards the USA for that.

Ban them I say.

When US traffic police pull over a car, they will have to assume the driver has a gun. That means making the driver getting out with hands on head.

If a driver is stopped by police, he or she knows making a sudden move could result in bejng shot.

Id rather live in a country where that doesnt happen

sammi thinks you are being silly and overreacting.

Access to guns is just as easy elsewhere but mass shootings aren't common place. Perfect example: New Zealand.

Not if you're a 'nutter'.

Not if you're a 'nutter'.

90% of Americans are nutters, yet half the population owns a gun. It is easy to lay your hands on an efficient killing machine in the USA whether you pretend to be sane or not. Some gun owners go nuts over night when things go bad.

What harm could banning easy access to guns do sammi?

Presume you have some data to show this as being true.

It is in the UK too.

Oh it won't do harm but it wont stop mass murder either.

Perhaps we should ban knives, cars and lorries while we're at it?

No, I just made it up.

I recall Michael Moore's documentary showing a bank giving away guns for free - depending on how much deposited... They certainly seem to be easy to get hold of in some of the US states. I am glad the UK is much stricter.

Are the amount of mass shootings in the USA testament to their mental stability...?

Me too. Poor sammi doesn't seem to share your sentiment.

Not sure what gives you that idea.

Have I said guns should be unregulated?

To 90% of the population? No.

Yes it will.

We need knives to peel the spuds. We don't need a semi automatic over the fireplace though. Besides, cowardly nutters won't commit mass murder unless they have easy access to guns. Look at the USA for proof.

Without doubt it is easier & quicker to do max damage with guns compared to other methods. And unlike cars, lorries and knives, we don't need guns to live our daily lives.
