New Zealand introduces flurry of new gun restrictions six months after Christchurch

[spanone]

New Zealand lawmakers introduced a sweeping set of new gun control proposals into Parliament on Friday, six months after a mass shooting in Christchurch targeting Muslim worshipers killed more than 50 people.

The new restrictions would accomplish several items that have been on lawmakers' agenda since the massacre, including creating a firearms registry that would link individual weapons to license holders; tightening requirements on obtaining a gun-owner's license; and ramping up penalties for firearms offenses, among other items.

The topline proposal, perhaps the bill's most controversial, would establish a "full registry" of license holders and details about the firearms and prohibited gun parts in their possession.

Two months have elapsed since New Zealand began a buyback program for semi-automatic firearms after Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern shepherded a near-total ban on these weapons through the legislature after the Christchurch shooting.

1. New Zealand puts people first

That simple

2. "Think of the poor innocent guns, pleads NRA"

3. Day or night, anyplace in NZ, I was never worried about my safety.

After drinking, I've gone home with total strangers. Strangers were welcome to our parties. A whole different world.

4. New Zealand is not the U.S. and has no Second Amendment.

We may well disagree with gun enthusiasts about the Second Amendment but we should be able to understand how they feel about it.
There may be an outside chance some kind of gun legislation may be passed but how long would it be before it goes before this conservative Supreme Court?
