You mean the few guns that were banned? I mean obviously not the thousands and thousands of legally obtainable guns still in legal public ownership.

Hey if you can't trust a guy who live in the worst country in the world for gun safety to know about how gun safety works, who can you trust

Who decided it was the 'worst country'?

What are the stats for other countries?

Granted Scummy there are worse for violent gun deaths than the USA
but these are not first world countries that claim to be world leaders
Panama
Colombia
Brazil
Jamaica
Guatemala
Swaziland
El Salvador
Venezuela
Honduras
Belarus


it's rather telling when you compare the USA to the developed world.

I'm feeling a lot safer here than I would living in a country that's had 46 mass shootings in the last month alone. That's not 46 deaths, that's 46 mass shootings. A minimum of three victims apart from the shooter IRCC. Unfuckingbelievable!

So, you'll be handing in your licence then?

It has been apparent for some time that logic and you are yet to be acquainted. Even so, I'd be interested to read how you arrived at that conclusion. Why would the events taking place at the other end of the planet effect what I do with my licence? Are you considering handing your licence in?

You seem to be subscribing to the notion that less Guns in private hands makes you safer. So, are you handing yours in?

I'm not, because I don't subscribe to that idea.

You seem to be subscribing to the notion that less Guns in private hands makes you safer.

And where did I suggest that exactly?

Can you suggest an instance in NZ where the ownership/possession of a gun has made you feel safer? Of a time when you felt threatened because you couldn't access your gun?

That would be a great retort, if that was my point.

[TheDemonLord]

And where did I suggest that exactly?

In your comparison, given the context of the failed buy-back leading to more Firearm crime, you stated a preference.

That preference hinges on the idea that less guns = more safety.

So, will you be handing your licence in?

Alternatively, you could agree that Fit and Proper people are not and never were the issue, and agree that the Buy-back (both in terms of it's stated goal and it's actual outcome) has been an absolute failure.
