    For the rest of American history, “thoughts and prayers” will look more hollow than they ever have thanks to the bold actions of @jacindaardern and the government of New Zealand.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1108559779826421760 …

    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

        Well, they only have sheep and flightless birds to hunt..... So semi automatic weapons are a bit redundant.

        Yet, they hunt neither sheep nor flightless birds in New Zealand. We get the impression that in the US, gun owners include human beings on their hunting list. By the way, no one *needs* to hunt anything unless they're actually starving.

        In most countries that don't have strict gun laws (unlike my country, Australia), humans are on "hunting list". Just so you know, there are quite a few people who live off grid and do need to hunt for food.

        Those who hunt to fulfil their needs are of course excused. They're nothing like people who hunt for sport.

        Too true that. Thoughts and prayers have categorically been proved to be utterly pointless.

        They weren't pointless in New Zealand. Those prayers were heard very quickly. Because they were sincere.
