In one sweeping announcement, New Zealand Prime Minister @jacindaardern not only banned all assault rifles, but all high capacity clips, and all accessories that turn rifles into machine guns.
Of course she did. This is the sane, humane response to a massacre.pic.twitter.com/oxdCOyt0Ec

My thought exactly. I will send this clip to any US politician who offers thoughts and prayers - to show them what thoughts, prayers, courage, and *action* look like

Let's make
#courageandaction the popular rebuttal to#thoughtsandprayers. -
That’s perfect

So that's what happens when politicians aren't bought by the NRA. Must be nice.

It’s awesome. We learn from our mistakes and we learn from our tragedies.

It’s already been done successfully in Australia. The NZ government is modelling the buy-back & amnesty scheme after Australia who received ~650,000 guns after they had their devastating massacre in 1996. This is an example for where the world can learn from each other’s mistakes

I had to watch just to see what it looked like to hear her say it. It must be awesome to live in a society run by smart people.
