“There Will be No Opposition”: After Shooting, New Zealand Will Further Outlaw Guns 3/18/19 by Selwyn Duke

Living down here and being a legal firearms owner/shooter, many of us felt it was inevitable.

Just waiting for the right crisis to exploit.

Not only did the offender spark this push for stricter gun control, but the biggest player in retail firearms also contributed to this narrative of irresponsibility with their past behaviour(long list of illegal/criminal activities up through and including incarceration in US federal prison for the illegal purchase and attempted exportation of firearms out of the US.).

Some of us have long felt this retailer would be directly involved in the further atrophy of gun privileges(privileges not rights here) due to their excess focus on profit over community leadership.
