Just hours after the mosque massacre in New Zealand that left at least 49 dead, the country’s prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, promised a change in national gun laws.
“While work is being done as to the chain of events that lead to both the holding of this gun license and the possession of these weapons, I can tell you one thing right now: Our gun laws will change,” she said at a news conference per CNN.
The suspect, Brenton Tarrant, had a gun license and reportedly used at least two semi-automatic weapons in the slaying.
Since when are elected officials authorized to make changes to gun laws? Oh! right. Lobbying laws outside the US preclude corporations and billionaires buying politicians. I’ll tell you what: that is tyranny!
Prime Minister Ardern clearly demonstrates far more courage and commitment to what is good for her people than our “president” and the members of his party. Shame on them!
That’s my Prime Minister. I couldn’t be more proud of her.
