Semi-automatic shotguns are used for duck hunting.

Meanwhile in the US... AR-15 rifles were used to commit every major mass shooting in the United States since the 2012 attack in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater and we do nothing.
New Zealand won't miss what they never had. A Constitution that secures individual rights.

The weapon was designed for the operator to kill many targets quickly. That's why they are so popular with mass shooters.
Please, please------I beg of you. Make this a campaign issue on the Left!

You would also know that there are current laws that LE does not enforce to the point of blatant negligence.
What these leftists don't seem to understand; if there ever were such a sweeping control of firearms here in the US, the government wouldn't be benevolent.

Once the populace is helpless, there would be further crack-downs on other freedoms.

Unfortunately there's only one way to prove this.

But hey, as I said in another thread, a foreigner rolls into NZ, kills a bunch of people, yet the government's response is to ban its citizens from owning. Makes sense.
Here's a partial list, which is certainly bad enough. I know Umpqua is missing, and probably a few others I can't recall right now.

Not us, though.
We suggest you move to a place where guns are banned. That would save you the step of hassling the rest of us!

Repeat after me-------it ain't going to happen!

When Generation Z is fully franchised to vote during the next couple of years, you will see changes here very similar to those taking place in New Zealand. They aren't real wild about protecting the tools of choice for mass shooters, and they are damned tired of being told their only choice is to arm themselves and live in fear.

New Zealand's law addresses that as well as component conversion parts. and the PM has already said anyone who keeps any of the hardware after the ban will incriminate himself.

I think it`s more about a Nobody wanting to feel like a Somebody. An assault weapon can do that for a person.
