New Zealand un-bites the bullet.

It probably has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with drug induced mental health problems.... ie nut jobs and there are too many of them these days.

[Bricktop]

Guns are being handed in, as happened in Australia 15 odd years ago.

This is what REAL gun control looks like.



Time for some other countries to take action to protect their citizens.

The general claim is that getting rid of guns in Australia caused the murder rate to go down.  But New Zealand matched Australia's murder reduction WITHOUT getting rid of guns.

Oh, Wazzer...that graph is 6 years out of date.



What will NZ's murder rate look like in 2019 after you factor in 50 more deaths?



And what is the source of that data?

It's probably a combination of several factors.

The homicide rate is dropping in Canada too.

[Bricktop]

But what is the proportion of homicides involving firearms?

[Anonymous]

But what is the proportion of homicides involving firearms?

Lower than rate involving knives in Britain.

Murder rates have been falling in Canada and the US for years.

Yep in all 4 of the countries in the graph, murder rates, fell.  BUT only one banned guns, the other three did not.

Lower than rate involving knives in Britain.

So by that logic, replacing knives with guns will reduce the homicide rate?

You seem to think the reverse is true.

[Bricktop]

That knives are less dangerous than guns???



That is simply common sense.

[Odinson]

Extraordinary..



The government refunds previously legal items that are now banned..



They should have done the same in America after the abolition of slavery.

[Odinson]

Better to own a gun and not need one than to need a gun and not have one.



Things going to the direction they are going, we should give guns to females living near muslims and negroes..



Just so that they can go for an evening jog just like in old bad days.

[Bricktop]

Why would you need a gun?

I hunt..
