Jacinda Ardern questions U.S. gun laws
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern does "not understand" why the U.S. has not changed its guns laws despite the exponential increase in mass shootings in recent years. Ardern banned assault rifles throughout her country less than a month after its worst-ever mass shooting occurred in March.
"Australia experienced a massacre and changed their laws. New Zealand had its experience and changed its laws," Ardern told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an interview Tuesday. "To be honest with you, I do not understand the United States."
Just days after the Christchurch shooting on two mosques that left 51 people dead, Ardern announced an impending ban on military-style semiautomatic weapons, assault rifles and high-capacity magazines. On April 10, New Zealand's parliament voted 119 to 1 to pass the gun control legislation.
Her rapid action lies in stark contrast to the lack of federal gun control measures in the U.S. despite hundreds of mass shootings in recent years. "I could not fathom how weapons that could cause such destruction and large-scale death could be obtained legally in this country," Ardern said in April.

1:01 AM - May 15, 2019
Ardern acknowledged New Zealand's previous "pretty permissive" gun laws and affinity for hunting, but "that does not mean that you need access to military-style automatic weapons and assault rifles. She said that New Zealanders mostly agree with the new legislation.
Australia acted similarly in the aftermath of the 1996 Port Arthur shooting, which left 35 people dead. Then-prime minister John Howard — a conservative politician and close friend of George W. Bush — passed sweeping gun control legislation just 12 days after the massacre. Since then, there has not been a single mass shooting in Australia.
Ardern is in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron hosting a summit on curbing online extremism. The Christchurch massacre was live-streamed on Facebook and also appeared on Instagram, YouTube, Reddit and 8chan. Now, governments around the world are calling on social media giants to end the use of their platforms for acts of terrorism.
Since the start of 2019, 123 mass shootings have occurred in the U.S., according to the Gun Violence Archive. The Las Vegas shooting in October 2017 remains the deadliest in American history, when 59 people were killed and more than 500 were injured. With one exception, no major federal gun control measures have passed Congress since the 1990s.

You shut your whore mouth, Jacinda. At least when we have a mass shooting it doesn't take officers with a station a stone's throw away OVER HALF AN HOUR TO RESPOND, bitch.

Well, Ardern... The U.S. is simply not N.Z.
Tiny N.Z. has had isolated incidents of shootings, yet they freak out. Don't forget the U.S. is a large, populated country with different demographics. Taking guns away from others or banning their production will not solve anything.

I have heard way more about this chick from a tiny sheep covered island nation than by any rational standard I should have. The media loves shoving her down our throats.

The better question is why does she care what happens in the US? If more shootings happen, then let us suffer the consequences of the 2A. There's always a trade-off for everything; liberty for security, free speech of the majority for safety of the minority, etc. etc.
Care more about your own country first before becoming a moral judge of another. People are looking on at NZ with disgust after signing away to China as it did, so she might want to start there.

Jacinda Arden is the exact kind of leftist moron who is dangerous in power. She'd have the world under caliphate laws if she could. People like her say they're ruling with "kindness" and "compassion" but "kindness" and "compassion" are just the name of the bat and cudgel they intend to beat you into submission with.

If this NZ PM had read Mr. Brenton Tarrant's manifesto, she would know she is playing right into his hands by promoting the gun control agenda in USA. Maybe she shouldn't have banned the manifesto, because then she could read it and not look like an idiot for doing Mr. Tarrant's bidding.
