Finally, the facts about global gun violence! 😂

[Jeppo]

Maybe you didn’t know all this…

Why are mass shootings rare in other countries despite high levels of gun ownership?

Firearm laws are very different in Finland, Switzerland, and Australia

An example, for your consideration is…

New Zealand​

New Zealand also has a lot of guns — 1.5 million in a country of just 5.1 million people — but unlike the United States, New Zealand took legislative action after a tragedy.

Following a 2019 mass shooting in Christchurch that killed 51 people, then-Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern implemented a series of sweeping reforms to the country's already strict gun laws. Ardern announced these reforms just one week after the shooting, Time reports, and the new laws were pushed through parliament almost immediately. The laws included creating a firearms registry and placing a complete ban on AR-15s and other assault rifles. New Zealand also created a gun buyback program to try and get weapons off the streets. By the end of the program, Kiwis had turned in more than 50,000 guns, NPR reports, greatly slashing the number of firearms on the streets of New Zealand.

I don’t have a degree in mathematics but I can figure out the percentage represented by 50,000/1,500,000. They “slashed” 3% of the firearms on the streets of NZ. 🤪

Yea but they got AR’s 500,000 buried in caches too. So they’re off the streets.

When you add in the number of firearms per person of the population, by number of gun deaths. You find you are in a much greater danger of being killed by a gun in those countries than you are in America. Mexico has one gun store in the entire country.

I bet those 50,000 were turned in by law-abiding folks. The percentage of criminals turning in guns was probably much lower, making the share of guns held by such criminals even higher in the general population.

Wait, aren't these New Zealanders the same proud warriors who perform the Haka? Do you think he turned in his guns?

And this:
Silencers are often referred to as suppressors. The best descriptive term is gun muffler. In New Zealand, which has a strong tradition of gun ownership, gun mufflers are unregulated and cheap. They are for sale over the counter or in the mail.

In previous blog posts, we’ve covered what it’s like to travel domestically with a suppressor and internationally with guns and ammo, but we haven’t covered international travel with a suppressor.

When government acts with supersonic speed like New Xiland, you better believe it's always some nefarious crap.

Pretty sure his "gun" is shooting blanks anyway.
