On most of the many scales available by independent org's/agencies, the U.S. with it's "constitution" doesn't even make it into the top 25 of countries whose citizens enjoy the most freedoms and liberties
So much for that vaunted "constitution" nonsense.
The Constitution is nonsense? We're definitely getting closer!
They must not have much of a Democratic Government when 1 person can put a ban like this in place without a vote of the people.
Isn't this the type power people like Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Castro had ?
New Zealand did not ban assault weapons. Only 1 person banned these weapons.
It`s a public safety issue. Did we get to vote on whether our vehicles should be required to have seat belts?
If we were allowed to vote on whether assault weapons could be sold in this country it wouldn`t go well for you. You think?
Australia is pretty close to New Zealand and after their last mass shooting they implemented gun controls and whether it is coincident or not there has not been a mass shooting since.
Hard to fight against that.
From what I have read they don't suspect she'll have much opposition - -even from gun owners.

Or just applying common sense, assault rifles serve no purpose in hunting or sports which is not being impeded.
