New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern on gun control, divisive rhetoric and globalism

[@nadyayap2714]

Geoff Keil She’s a professional. That’s why and how she managed to evade anything that can be used to attack another country’s leader. ESPECIALLY alongside their own people (which is humiliating enough to make relations worse). She might be one of the few world leaders and politicians that Trump has not insulted so the relationship between the US government and the NZ one is not tense and filled with mistrust. I may not like Trump, but it doesn’t matter when you take the lives, needs and general wellbeing of millions of lives. She’s using a soft approach on diplomacy. Not directly criticizing or contradicting him. Plus it’s bad manners to attack foreign heads-of-state on their own turf. Even the Russians who are critical of their government would prefer if foreigners don’t come into their country to criticize to their faces.

I can very much recommend watching the video online where Jacinda and Helen Clark talk about women in.politics and the women's suffrage movement.

[@wpl6661]

Misleading. New Zealand is a small country with few guns to begin with. It has a small population as well. The US is a large country with a large population but even still the number of guns in proportion to the population is 1 to 1. Few if any countries have that proportion of guns to population. We don't have more "bad people" in the US than in other places. What we have is arguably the easiest access to guns for the amount of "bad people" to get them. 10,000 gun homicides a year in the US with a population of 325 million people. The amount of gun homicides in the UK is less than 50 per year for a population of 65 million. If our model followed UK then we would only have around 300 gun homicides a year instead of 10,000. What is the difference between USA and the UK? The proportion of guns to people. The ease of access to guns and what guns are available to the general public. Why is there such a difference between the countries? Because no other country, not the UK or anywhere else do they have a right for private citizens to own guns and the easy access to them in the form of laws. Why was New Zealand able to so quickly change their gun laws after the massacre? (1) No 2nd amendment (2) No NRA bullying parliament members into doing nothing. Let's look at the UK again for an example. In 1996 they had the Dunblane massacre. Parliament immediately acted and by the end of the year laws were changed. Since 1996 there has been no school shootings in the UK at all and there has only been 1 mass shooting. Columbine massacre happened in the USA in 1999. What has happened since then? Well Congress let lapse the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 2004. Providing easier access to assault rifles and high capacity magazines of ammunition. We average 1 mass shooting a week and at least 1 school shooting a month. We average 30 gun homicides a day. And in 2017 Stephen Paddock purchased 55 assault rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition in the form of high capacity magazines in order to commit the largest individual gun massacre in US history. So what can the US do to reduce gun violence? Pass more gun control laws is one thing. But that only has a certain limited effect. What we really need to do is to repeal the 2nd amendment and turn gun ownership into a privilege instead of a right. Instead of a well regulated militia, we need a well regulated system of gun ownership.

I'm a Brit, in 1996 there was a mass shooting at a primary school in Scotland, in a town called Dunblane. A gunman killed 15 children, one teacher and injured 15 others before killing himself. A tragic story that we have heard from the US far too many times in the last few decades. In response to the massacre in Dunblane and the public outcry the government passed two new Firearms Acts within one year of the attack which banned public ownership of almost all handguns and rifles to the public. There has been no other mass shooting in Britain before or since that attack in 1996. I think that story truly speaks for itself. I hope beyond hope that America can see that it is possible, it is necessary and that you can hunt deer with a bow and arrow just as well and you get the added bonus of never fearing your childs life from a gun when they go to school.

[@guncontrolisusingbothhands2331]

Carmen - That's the difference in NZ and the US. Our gun rights were given to us to use against the government if or when they become oppressive. NZ is a different can of worms, because your head of state is the un elected queen, or dictator to be precise, and you live under the Monarchy rules, where you are subjects to the will of the royal family. They own everything, including your guns, and you are granted the privilege to own them. At any time that privilege to own those guns or any property, can be taken away and the government will take back their property. It's why they call it a gun buyback, everything belongs to the rulers in Buckingham Palace. Recently they decided they want their guns back, so they told Jacinda and the other puppets to pass a law and confiscate them, not because they are worried about your safety, they are worried that those guns could be used to overthrow them. "These are military styled weapons and we can't let you subjects have equal firepower with our military and police". When the nutcase did the massacre, they used this tragedy to take the guns from millions of people that did nothing wrong, and if you disagree, well then you must be sympathetic to that mass shooter, or you must be someone that doesn't care if young children are murdered with these guns.
