Jesus you people are deluded. Yes banning guns stops mass shootings, it works. Who needs a semi automatic rifle other than a psycho looking to kill as many people as possible?

they're not willing to ban mental illness.
Lol. How do you propose we do that? It's estimated that 1 in 5 people have some kind of mental illness. Myself included. If we ban it will we all be better?

FYI: I just came across this sad story of a man in New Zealand who might spend 14 years in prison, simply because he "shared" the Mosque shooting video.

It's disturbing that the leader(s) of a civilized, modern nation like New Zealand, would behave like the leaders of North Korea, or Russia!

Shutting down free speech by blocking videos, preventing discussions, and then finally arresting anyone the questions the official narrative as being a "Co-Conspirator". The fact that the NZ PM wore the attire of the victims, and had that gun restriction bill already to go seemed strange, and this flat out controlling the media in the name of "safety" seems that there may be more at work here then the simple protect and serve mindset.

I'm wondering if this has to do with the rise in Trotskyism around the globe?
***TEXT WAS EDITED OUT, BUT IS POSTED UNDERNEATH THIS FOR READIBLITY***
Is this what is being forced on the people of New Zealand? Pushing strict rules and censorship on the people in order to get them to revolt against a Democratic System, and then swoop in with a Trotskyist styled government to replace it while the populace is in disarray? I hope not!
In 1905, Trotsky formulated his theory of permanent revolution that later became a defining characteristic of Trotskyism. Until 1905, some revolutionaries claimed that Marx's theory of history positioned that only a revolution in a European capitalist society would lead to a socialist one. According to this position, it was impossible for a socialist revolution to occur in a backward, feudal country such as early 20th century Russia when it had such a small and almost powerless capitalist class.
The theory of permanent revolution addressed the question of how such feudal regimes were to be overthrown and how socialism could be established given the lack of economic prerequisites. Trotsky argued that in Russia only the working class could overthrow feudalism and win the support of the peasantry. Furthermore, he argued that the Russian working class would not stop there. They would win their own revolution against the weak capitalist class, establish a workers' state in Russia and appeal to the working class in the advanced capitalist countries around the world. As a result, the global working class would come to Russia's aid and socialism could develop worldwide

Banning guns will never solve the problem of nutters.
They'll put you in prison for owning a banned gun, but they're not willing to ban mental illness. Society is fundamentally broken because people aren't willing to accept the fact that not everyone is created equal.

Classy. I have "major depressive disorder". Nothing is wrong with my life, my childhood was fantastic, and I have very few worries. I just lack the ability to be happy and want to live without medication. It's a chemical imbalance, and I'm a danger to nobody other than myself. But to you, the world is better off without me? Are my wife and children better off without me?
