New Zealand Disarms Themselves (yahoo.com)

Consortium manipulation provoked an entire nation to disarm themselves after one horrific murder spree.
Don't let it happen here, or we will be at the Consortium's mercy when they give up any pretense of not running the world and reveal themselves openly.
All those weapons we produce for the military industrial complex will one day be turned on us by Siriv working hand in hand with the Consortium. Be prepared! Hang on to your defenses!

But Nicole McKee, a spokeswoman for the advocacy group Council of Licensed Firearms Owners, said owners had kept about two-thirds of the banned weapons because they had lost faith in the government and hadn't been offered adequate compensation. “They never overcame being blamed by authorities for being somehow responsible for a heinous act of terrorism — something they would never do," McKee said in a statement. The ban on assault weapons was strongly backed by lawmakers in an historic 119-1 vote after the mosque attacks. Lawmakers are now considering further restrictions, including creating a register to track all guns. Police figures indicate the government paid out just over 100 million New Zealand dollars ($66 million) to compensate owners during the buyback.

And this, ladies and gents, is how ordinary civilians become enemies of the State... By refusing to disarm themselves so an incompetent government can protect them from bad guys anytime, anywhere.
