    I don't think this was. But it was certainly an opportunity the NZ government didn't pass up. It's much more politically feasible to pass something like this when emotions are high.

    Same way it was done in Australia....shamed the masses and had neighbor rat out neighbor

    Yep here all it took was the President saying ban bumpstocks

    If you don't think that will be used in the future to ban 30 rd mags,shockwaves,arm braces,improved triggers, ect ect ect you are fooling yourself.
    Don’t forget suspenders and belt loops.

    This was predictable, the New Zealand government has been rapidly moving further left in their politics for years.

    Laws enacted on emotion that won't prevent any future attacks. Someone in a leadership role that is so stupid to believe what they are doing will prevent future attacks? Someone in a leadership role smart but knows the people are idiots and enacts a useless law? Everyone is an idiot?

    What would the NZ PM do if the terrorist used a truck like Nice France where 87 were killed and 434 injured? Wish we had real journalist that would ask her that question.

    Kind of funny that gun owners united and shut down the NZ police web page for turning in guns
    It wasn't the web page it was just the forms submission part.
    I am glad to see the the kiwis are not taking this lightly and are pushing back by ... trolling the turn in website.
    I don't think so. The Kiwis seem, from all accounts, to be rolling over and playing dead in this whole thing. If anyone could post links to sources that show me to be wrong on that, I'd be very appreciative.

    The trolling seems to be coming from abroad.

    The actual web page is still up, here. You just can no longer submit forms from IP addresses outside NZ. Try it for yourself. Go to the link from your U.S. IP and try to fill out the form. I just did.

    On the gun form I found this info on the turn in form page is down for everyone even in NZ. Using a VPN or really being in NZ. Now I am not an expert and cant provide prof only what I have seen being reported.

    and I did not say the full page was down I said the one for turning in the form was

    If you have somebody on ignore, but yet still quote them for some reason, you will not see the quote in your posts. If it isn't that, then I don't know.

    It's there at the bottom of your post.


    Strange I cant see it or I cant see your quote of me. It shows that you quoted me in notifications. I wonder if I ignored myself ;)

    ahhhh it was an add blocker blocking the quotes turned it off and can see them now
