The NZ authorities are being tight lipped about the details of this guy and his firearms. After reading the hoops one has to jump through to obtain a NZ firearms license, My guess is either someone dropped the ball (big time) in identifying this dirtbag, or his guns weren't legal.
I will never apologize for being an American.

Press coverage says he was properly licensed for the firearms.

So we are up against the perfect citizen that one day snaps and becomes public enemy #1.

I do not believe we can ever stop this scenario in any capacity.

So in other words, somebody dropped the ball.

Unless we're to believe he was an exemplary citizen who never gave anyone reason to question his deep rooted hatred.

And I read somewhere that he was on the radar for the police in Australia.

Go figure.

In the "weirdest plot twist of the day" category....

Chelsea Clinton gets blamed....

I don't care what you think of the Clintons, but if you think condemnation of anti-semitism caused the NZ shooting of Semites.... you need to have your meds reevaluated.... :roll:

Clearly it was the daughter of Bill and Hillary’s fault. It’s obvious.

Makes as much sense as blaming the guns.

It’d sure be nice if someone would blame the actual killer for doing the actual killing. Atleast give him a participation trophy.

Remember we are talking about the brains of a seriously disordered individual. It doesn't have to make sense when it is clearly a senseless act. Blaming the implements used to commit the crime is lazy and transparently agenda driven.

So no comments on the announcement yesterday?

Apparently in NZ the prime minister can basically dictate law and the government engine makes it happen. I hope we never live under a monarchy such as this.

They don’t even have a constitution.
