The connection is that liberal governments have squandered their credibility. It sickened me to watch the New Zealand mosque video when I found it after the scrubbing began. However; I am glad I did. The video destroys the official narrative of an "assault rifle massacre.". He just used the rifles after the initial assault on anyone who said "I'm not dead yet."
The New Zealand government callously exploited the massacre as a pretext to ban semiautomatic rifles even though the video prooves that the massacre was perpetrated primarily with shotguns. Interestingly, semiautomatic and pump action shotguns were NOT banned. Just rifles.
You might want to study a little NZ history and law there.
Then maybe you wont make such idiotic comments.
NZ police have been requesting this change for nearly 10 years.
You're right, those shotguns weren't banned. Unless they can take more than 5 cartridges or can take a magazine. Then they are.
Like the ones he used.

Thank you for confirming my argument for me.
The New Zealand police had wanted to ban semiautomatic rifles for a decade but had not been able to do so because criminals were seldom using them to commit crimes. (The best evidence is about 2%-3% of all homicides in the US are committed with rifles of any type. This is down from about 10% a few decades ago. Extrapolating from detailed caliber, manufacturer and model specific data on weapons used to kill police it can be estimated that about 1% of US homicides are with military caliber and style, semiautomatic rifles.) Some Australian uses shotguns as his primary weapon to kill a bunch of people. The New Zealand government promptly bans the video so that they can deceive the public into believing that semiautomatic rifles were the primary weapons so that they can exploit the pretext to ban semiautomatic rifles.
Big Effing Deal about the five round magazine capacity limit on shotguns. Neither the Mossberg 930 or Remington 870 can accept detachable box magazines. There are other models based on the same design with MAJOR differences that can. Extended capacity tube magazines are most commonly 7 round capacity with 9 round capacity available but rarely used because of length.
You think that a capacity of 5 rounds plus 1 in the chamber vs 7 rounds plus 1 in the chamber is going to make any difference?
Shotguns with tube magazines can be reloaded continuously as you shoot. With a bit of practice you can ensure that you will never have an empty chamber so you will be able to shoot anyone who charges you while you are reloading.
The only thing limiting the carnage from a shotgun massacre is how much ammunition the shooter brings with them.
