NZ Shotgun Murder Highlights Need for Armed Self-Defense - The Truth About Guns
ohn Tully is on trial for the murders of Peggy Turuhira Noble and Susan Leigh Cleveland and the attempted murder of Lindy Louise Curtis and Kim Elizabeth Adams, in a shotgun shooting at the Ashburton Work and Income NZ office on September 1, 2014.
What's the murder rate in New Zealand again?
doesn't matter....this shows that the only reason it isn't higher is that their nuts choose not to do it....this story shows that if they choose to shoot up a government office they can do so........
The actual question...the important question...why do American nuts do it more......?
Will this shooting mean more are going to happen as this gets publicized?
New Zealand has more guns than Australia...and less gun violence? How would that be possible?

So your argument is that there's no relationship between the availability of guns....and gun violence?
New Zealand has more guns than Australia...and less gun violence? How would that be possible?
If there is no relationship between gun availability and gun violence, then gun homicide as a proportion of total homicide in New Zealand.....should be the same as the US.
Is it?

Then why are the proportion of gun homicides as part of total homicides in New Zealand about 1/5 of what they are here. And of course, their guns per resident is also about 1/5th.
That seems an awful strange coincidence if there is no relationship between gun availability and gun violence.

We have more guns in this country...over 100 million more since Obama came into office...and 13 million people now carrying guns...and our gun murder rate went down....and has been going down for years....our overall violence rate has gone down since the 90s and this is when more people, not less, own and carry guns.....
If you are right, how is that possible?

Our gun ownership has gone up as has our concealed carry permits...and our violent crime rate and our gun mirder rate and our gun accident rate has gone down...how do you explain that?

If you are right, how is that possible?
Simple: there are fewer people with guns.
See, the gun ownership rate has declined while the total number of guns has increased. Meaning many of the same people just bought more guns.
Whether Bubba has 2 guns or 10 guns doesn't seem to have much to do with gun violence. Whether Bubba has 2 guns or 0 guns does seem to have some relevance.

that is wrong....the growing areas of gun ownership up are women and minorities...the General Social Survey is wrong and that is where that little factoid comes from.....the guy who runs it is anti gun, and stated he wants to bolster the will of politicians to pass more gun control...on top of that....it is a phone survey asking people if they have guns....a complete stranger calls up and asks you if you own guns...and you expect gun owners who understand the gun debate to say yes?

Gun ownership rates have gone down.
Worse, what possible relevance does concealed carry rates have when you just argued that the availability of guns has nothing to do with gun violence?
Recognizing of course that the Author of the study you're going to try to cite has admitted he can't factually establish a causative link between lower gun violence rates and concealed carry permits.
And you know that. And we know you know that.

So if someone was pro-gun, we couldn't trust their studies either?
