New Zealand bans all Assault weapons

New Zealand bans all Assault rifles

As unbelievable as it sounds New Zealand just banned all military-style semi-automatic weapons, assault rifles and high-capacity magazines. This follows the mass shootings at two Christchurch mosques that killed 50 people.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke this statement on Thursday.

"On 15 March our history changed forever. Now our laws will too. We are announcing action today on behalf of all New Zealanders to strengthen our gun laws and make our country a safer place," Ardern said at a press conference in the capital Wellington.

The announcement came after the country's cabinet agreed to change the law and ban military-style semi-automatics and assault rifles. The amazing part of this whole story is it came after only 72 hours following the Christchurch attacks.

She went on to say:

"Every semi-automatic weapon used in the terror attack on Friday will be banned," 
Adding that she hoped the law would be in place by April 11.

"This legislation will be drafted and introduced in urgency."

An estimated 1.2 million guns are in circulation in the country, according to New Zealand Police. That equals one for every three people. 

They didn't need riots, they didn't need protests, they didnt more deaths. No, they stepped up and said enough is enough.

The Prime minister pointed similar measures that were taken in Australia following the 1996 Port Arthur massacre as an example for New Zealand to follow.
She went on to say they would be including certain "exemptions for farmers."

In a recent article from the Washington Post they said there was 1,153 people killed in the United states.The people who were killed came from nearly every imaginable race, religion and socioeconomic background. Their ages range from the unborn to the elderly; 189 were children and teenagers. In addition, thousands of survivors were left with devastating injuries, shattered families and psychological scars.

They went on to say that 309 guns were involved in these shootings. Shooters often carried more than one weapon; one was found with 24. At least 171 of mass shooters’ weapons were obtained legally and 59 were obtained illegally. It’s unclear how the 79 weapons were acquired.

And yet we still don't have any gun control here. Why? Why is it Japan, China, Brazil, and many other countries have gun control, hell even at Czech Republic has gun control and we still don't?
It's because we are run by big corporations not the government. Most of the government officials here are just there to line their pockets with the money they get from the big corporations and letting them make our laws.
Let's be real people we will never see gun control here because the gun companies run the government and too many palms are getting greased to let that happen. It's just like the pharmaceutical companies, who will never let a cure for so many diseases be found when they are profiting from the billions of people hooked on their crap that they are selling. Same thing, they have their hand in the politicians pockets as well.

Our gun laws will never change unless we change the government, unless we protest, we take a stand, we vote in people who really care and stand up for us little people who don't have a voice. For the family and friends of all of these senseless killings who will grieve for the rest of their lives.

I take my hat off to the Prime minister of New Zealand, good for her and the government for doing the right thing.
That is what it means to do the right thing for the people who put you into power. Hopefully we can learn something from your bravery and your integrity.
Until then we can only pray....

"Be the change you want to see"
 
"And just when the caterpillar thought his life over...he turned into a beautiful butterfly"
