Really the complete opposite, so the figures to back your assertion then?
show us all how its the complete opposite then?
Or are you going to try an misrepresent the facts like the rather desperate TDL attempts to. without any evidence.
i can show the figures to back mine here they are.
Also maryland but what the dude is also trying to misrepresent is hes using number in total rather than per head of population.
the fact he needs to try misrepresent the numbers should be a clue he doesn't have the facts on his side so has to resort to petty tricks and falsehoods to push his own agenda.
ILLINOIS
Despite earning an A- for its gun laws, Illinois has a higher gun death rate than many states with similar laws because of guns trafficked in from nearby states. Nearly half the guns used in crimes in Illinois—and nearly 60% of the guns used in crimes in Chicago—are trafficked from states with weaker gun laws. The majority of these guns come from neighboring Indiana, which received a D- on the Scorecard for lacking many of the important gun safety protections Illinois has passed. Southern states with F grades, like Missouri, Kentucky, and Mississippi, also traffic hundreds of crime guns into Illinois each year.MARYLAND
Traffickers often exploit gaps in federal law by purchasing guns at gun shows and in private sales in states that haven’t passed universal background checks. Maryland, which earned an A- on the Scorecard, has the nation’s highest rate of crime gun imports, with traffickers bringing in nearly three times as many guns to Maryland as the average state. Maryland sits on the Iron Pipeline, a route used to traffic firearms from southern states with weak gun laws to northeastern states with stronger laws. Nearly a third of crime guns recovered in Maryland were originally sold in Virginia. Guns from Georgia and Florida are also major contributors to violence in the state.even with these outlier states here is the breakdownCALIFORNIA
California has the strongest gun laws in the nation but neighbors several states that don’t yet make the grade. Weaker laws in nearby states undermine California’s comprehensive gun safety laws, fueling gun crime and violence in the state—more than 10,000 guns are trafficked into California and used in crimes each year. While California has its own anti-trafficking laws, firearm trafficking is not treated as a federal crime, making enforcement difficult and enabling criminals to exploit weaknesses in the system. Ironically, California’s neighbors benefit from the state’s gun safety laws, as firearms originating in California are among the least likely to be recovered at crime scenes in other states.

I can explain one of the lies - the claim that they were targeting 'evil black guns' (to quote one) when the new laws swept up the most innocuous looking ancient rifles in the same net, no mention of that.
Hera Cook is a classic anti-gun liar, have a look at what she says.

Yes that's sarcasm, but its a silly question.
Burgess gang
Five men were robbed and killed on the Maungatapu Track near Nelson in 1866
Hēnare Hona 1934Strikes in 1912 and 1913, a Communist revolution in Russia, and large numbers of ex-military guns coming into the country after World War I were used as justification for a new law in 1920. The new law required the registration of all firearms and issue of a "permit to procure" before a firearm was transferred. Semi-automatic pistols were banned and a special permit was needed for other pistols (e.g. revolvers), with the intent of discouraging the carrying of concealed weapons. Few changes were seen for the next forty years as crime remained low and the country avoided political violence.

Stanley Graham 1941
Hokitika man Stanley Graham shot four police officers and three other people after a dispute with a neighbour who he believed was killing his cattle in 1941.
Graham himself was eventually shot dead by police after a manhunt involving more than 100 police and several hundred army and Home Guard personnel.
Featherston riot 1843
Guards at a Featherston camp for Japanese prisoners of war shot and killed 48 prisoners during a riot in 1943, during World War II. One New Zealand soldier also died.
Aramoana 1990Various new laws were introduced in the 1970s and 80s, proposing more government checks, registration of shotguns (which had been abandoned) and individual licensing. An internal police report in 1982 criticised the proposals, saying there was no evidence that registration of guns helped to solve crimes, and that registration would use time and money better spent on other police work. This policy was adopted by the government in the 1983 Act
A man in the small seaside township of Aramoana near Dunedin, David Gray, killed 13 people

Raurimu rampage 1997
In February 1997 Stephen Lawrence Anderson killed six people at Raurimu, near Mt Ruapehu. Anderson had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and was found not guilty of murder on the grounds of insanity.
the guns were illegally owned.
The National government in 1999, its last year in office, introduced an Arms Amendment (No. 2) Bill to implement the recommendations, and the bill was supported by the new Labour government. After the strong weight of submissions made against the bill when it was in select committee, the government was persuaded that the changes were unneeded and would be difficult to implement. Due to the opposition, the bill was withdrawn. The government then introduced a much reduced Arms Amendment (No. 3) Bill, which increased penalties for distribution, manufacture and use of illegal weapons. It has been in select committee since 2005, and the government has not shown any sign of proceeding with it. In March 2012, an order of the day for a second reading of the Arms Amendment (No. 3) Bill was discharged.20192009–2018
In August 2009, the police decided that any firearm, including single shot bolt action rifles, with a free-standing pistol grip that could allow the firearm to be shot inaccurately from the hip would be defined as an MSSA.[41] However, the High Court rejected this attempt in Lincoln v Police [2010] BCL 194; 33 TCL 11/2. Parliament subsequently amended the Arms Act as a result of the court decision.
In 2015, a TV reporter demonstrated how to subvert processes to purchase a gun by mail-order. Police promptly changed their mail-order processes and commenced a criminal investigation.
In March 2016, after Police seized 14 illegally owned MSSA weapons in a raid in south Auckland and 4 officers were shot during an armed siege in Kawerau,Parliament's Law and Order Select Committee announced an Inquiry into issues relating to the illegal possession of firearms in New Zealand. In their final report the committee made 20 recommendations, of which the National government accepted 7 and modified another.The government introduced the Arms (Firearm Prohibition Orders and Firearms Licences) Amendment Bill to implement several of the recommendations shortly before the 2017 election but it lapsed with the change of government. It was subsequently drawn as a member's bill but it failed to pass at the first reading.[47] The Minister also directed Police to improve their administrative processes and consultation with the firearms community.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was the chair of an executive committee which in 2018 ushered through amendments to the Arms Regulations 2002, to allow Police to accept and process various applications concerning firearms licences and weapons transactions electronically. The Arms (Electronic Transactions) Amendment Regulations 2018 were published in the Gazette on 20 December 2018. Previously under the Arms Act, if someone wanted to become a gun dealer, get a firearms licence, import a restricted weapon, or get a permit to buy a military-style semi-automatic, they had to physically deliver an application to their nearest police station. The regulations also allow for a buyer of a restricted weapon to show that weapon to police by video call – whereas in the past they had to take it into the station.
Christchurch mosque massacre: 50 dead in shootings
If what dingemousedick was true there will be more multiple killings as a result of the law change.
People keep going on how the law reform didn't work as X many have never handed in the guns they clearly were and are not law-abiding citizens that should have even a firearm at all.
