What is really funny is the amount of assumptions people like lazs make to back himself up with little relevant knowledge of the subject. For example, lazs, you have assumed there are no gangs in NZ, where gangs are quite a problem, then theres the Mexican thing, I don't know if you're aware but NZ has one of the largest Pacific Island communities in the South Pacific (ie Samoans, Tongans, etc).
NZ also takes a lot of refugees every year. Our Asian population is quite high, we know have a growing polulation of Somali's, and the middle-east uptake has been rising as well.
Despite what you assume, NZ isn't just a bunch of sheep-shagging middle aged white males.
Firearms are not "forbidden" in NZ, you just have to prove you a) need one b) understand the risks and responsibilities of owning a firearm c) are sane and not likely to use a firearm to commit a crime.
Its quite amusing to watch you flop around these ideas lazs. You just don't seem to have any concept of the rest of the world. You can't wrap your head around the fact that other countries aren't as far gone as the US and seem to struggle with the idea of not needing to walk around armed to the teeth.
I on the otherhand understand why the US citizen needs guns, and that the really is no turning back from the path you guys have chosen.
