New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Friday afternoon that “our gun laws will change” after the mass shooting in Christchurch, by far the most deadly mass shooting in the country’s history.
According to Ardern, who spoke to reporters at a press conference Friday (Saturday morning local time), the suspect had a gun license from 2017 and used two semi-automatic weapons, two shotguns, and a lever-action firearm in the shooting. |

Which is beside the point.
A loony is a loony is a loony.
Gun laws make no difference whatsoever. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
