I fear this is going to come to blows and I hope those who side with the Constitution are better armed and better prepared to use them if the time comes to defend this nation from the c*******ts, A****a and others who would strip us of our rights.

Jaakko Talvitie on New Zealand Confiscates Guns, Sees Record Gun Crime


New Zealand passed the New Zealand Arms Amendment Act 2019 and the data is, well, seemingly predictable. Given Australia did the same thing and has one of the highest rates of robbery, sexual assault, and assault with force – we wouldn’t have predicted a big drop off in crime.

From Radio New Zealand: “Rates of gun crimes and k*****gs using guns at highest levels in a decade in 2019,” last year “there were 3540 occasions where an offender was found with a gun​.” The report went on to note that “in both of the last two years, the rate of deadly incidents involving a firearm was the highest it had been since 2009” and that “[t]he number of guns seized by police is also on the rise, up almost 50 percent on five years earlier at 1263 last year.​” Making clear that the figures cited in the article were not skewed by the horrific shooting in Christchurch, the report noted that “[t]he 15 March terror attacks were listed as two separate firearms-related incidents.​”

New Zealand went after the rights of law-abiding gun owners and citizens took note. Not everyone gave up their guns.

New Zealand gun rights group, the Council of Licensed Firearms Owners estimated that 170,000 prohibited firearms were still in the hands of Kiwis after the confiscation program.

If you google search Australia gun control, you'll almost only find 'success' stories from mainstream news outlets but the reality is that it had almost no effect, at all, on crime in general.

In 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice reviewed the available research on Australia’s firearm confiscation program and issued a memorandum that concluded that the effort had no effect on crime generally.

Even the US DOJ concluded there was no effect on crime from the gun ban.

Sometimes there IS social justice.

I DID see the video. I'm about as conservative and white as anyone here on OPP is and I will say this! You deserve a rebuke about what you posted. Much of what you said is a bald-faced lie! Multiple observers at the scene said he DID NOT resist arrest. His hands were cuffed and after sitting on the sidewalk curb, the officer put his knee on his neck ( the man SHOULD have been put in the back seat of the officer's car). He kept saying he couldn't breathe. NONE of the officers came to his aid. One officer murdered that man and the other three are accomplices.. They all need to be behind bars. PERIOD Until they've had a fair trial and then been condemned to a long stint behind bars The video alone is damning enough.. It was sickening, truly sickening

First Amendment freedom for thee, but not for me.

You make my point exquisitely.

I suspect Kevvy would support the closing of churches for any reason, C***d not withstanding.

You got it.

My favorite is LMAO.

Please remember there is hope for Kevvy and all who are still breathing. He may make a death-bed confession, but "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." Miracles do happen and I think I'll keep my eyes focused upward. While the secular world is unaware, there is a Mighty Wind of revival blowing across this nation, as well as in Canada and in many Muslim nations.

Well, your god, obummer, golfed on 7 of his 8 Memorial days as president. Personally, I'm glad he didn't attend many of the Memorial Day services as he was truly unworthy to salute those brave men.

I agree! the A****a have never defended the United states from anything legitimate. They appear to be the post-modern concept of the famed and notorious brown-shirts of N**i Germany, who were used to terrorize and beat up anyone who disagreed with Hitler. They (A****a) have never been observed assaulting a person who appears capable of fighting back. Yeah. That would be about Kevvie's speed.

I did predicate my statement with the word "if." IF that statement and picture are a true depiction of what occurred, the man deserved what he got. Since there is no proof as to the validity of the statement … more information is needed.

I SO agree with you on that! The negative reporting only goes one way and it's so obvious to those who listen to the various news sources!

If that guy really did spit on that woman and called her such a foul name, my take is that he DESERVED to be hit. That kind of behavior is just NOT ACCEPOTABLE from either side. PERIOD !
