I've already seen them try and argue that he was actually left wing, according to his manifesto. Most of it was deranged, nonsensical bullshit, like arguing he's a fascist and not a Nazi. Most of it read like it was written by some f**king idiot on 8chan.

I thought the Kiwis had a tougher gun regime than this. Maybe the proposed 2017 changes misled me.

How many guns are there?
New Zealand has almost double the number of guns per person compared to Australia — around one weapon for every four people.

The Small Arms Survey estimated New Zealand possessed 1.2 million guns for its 4.6 million population as of last year (although some media reports estimate it could be as high as 1.5 million). That compares to Australia's 3.5 million guns for 24.6 million people — around one weapon for every eight.

By comparison, for every 100 people in the United States there are 120 guns — more than one per person.

New Zealand ranks 18th in the world for the rate of civilian gun ownership, the Small Arms Survey said, higher than Kosovo, Pakistan and Iraq.

'The difference one weapon can make'
Professor Barton said the Christchurch gunman's weapon resembled an AR-15 — the assault rifle used in a number of US massacres, including the Las Vegas mass shooting that killed 58 people in 2017.

"The attacker was using a couple of guns, one was a shotgun, one was an AR-15 — that's the so-called civilian equivalent of the M-16. It's an assault rifle," he said. "That shows the difference that one weapon can make.

"We haven't seen these assault weapons used in Australia and New Zealand. "I think now we've got to face the fact that they're at large."......

From what I understand, weapons don't have to be registered, so it makes it difficult for them to have any kind of buyback scheme like we had here.

Who's them?
He's obviously far right wing and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. At the end of the day who really cares about the whole right v left thingy when it comes to this incident, it's just terribly sad that one person can be so screwed up to do such a terrible act on innocent people.

LOL I saw this too, he also described himself as an "Eco-fascist", I guess the nuff nuffs figure anything with "eco" in it must be lefty.

Yes they have a licencing regime but not a central registration database system like Oz.

When did "thoughts and prayers" become the standard tokenistic response to disasters, terror attacks, etc in Australia when at least 1/3 of the population is non religious? And I doubt the other 2/3 pray much.

I thought that was reserved to religious nut countries like the USA.

Because people only express what everyone else is expressing rather than thinking for themselves and constructing a thoughtful response that gives insight into how they really feel.

It's literally like using gmails or linkedin auto reply AI. Just whack that "thoughts and prayers" button fam and feel good about yourself for the day.

Do they offer "thoughts and prayers" to the victims of sex abuse at the hands of their own church?

Prayers are worthless

Too soon?

Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and current Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison say hi.

The worst thing is the 1000s of campaigners on the internet who will now celebrate this piece of shit.

The internet has done a lot of good things, but unfortunately it's also legitimised extreme beliefs and allowed unacceptable attitudes to become commonplace. The echo chambers of some of these forums are abhorrent where they just reinforce their own sick views of the world.

Michael Brander?
He was from a Spanish fam and headed up National Action back in the 90s.
Dipshits posted "No Jap City" posters all over Salisbury to protest the Bridgestone factory.
IIRC, he ran foul of the law at some point and stepped down as leader.
Think he was also outed, doubt that went down well with his knuckledragging base...

I agree there's absolute cowards and imbeciles from both the left & right there's no point scoring here just tragedy unleashed by a deranged mofo.

Yeah, very fine people on both sides.

^ Right on cue Kellyanne Conway has literally implied exactly that.

Pretty tired of the whole left wing/right wing paradigm tbh. This shit wasn't a factor when I was a kid, it was always just nazis and normal, reasonable folk. Just another example of American culture spreading where it's not needed.

Prayers are worthless

It’s just the way certain religious people like to say “I offer my condolences”. But nobody complains when people say condolences because it’s only trendy to shit on religious people.

 

[edgie]

In no way should anybody feel anything negative about being an Australian. What complete and utter nonsense.
