Just because some threats are hyped doesn't mean all threats are.

The United States, Australia and New Zealand share a historical heritage of frontier adventurism — the kind that bred a familiarity with firearms as tools for putting food on the table, or later as a sporting pastime.

But the similarity ends abruptly when the evildoers of those societies use semi-automatic weapons to commit slaughter — as happened Friday in Christchurch, New Zealand, where a gunman killed 50 worshipers at two mosques.

In the wake of that horror, the New Zealand government moved rapidly to announce that by next Monday, it will unveil plans for tightening gun laws that could potentially include a ban on military-style rifles and require registration of all guns.

"As a Cabinet, we were absolutely unified and very clear," Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Monday. "The time to act is now."

A similar resolute response happened in Australia after a gunman killed 35 people in 1996 with a semi-automatic rifle on the island of Tasmania.

With the support of a conservative prime minister, Australia introduced gun licensing and registry, banned semi-automatic rifles, and enforced a firearm buyback that pulled 700,000 guns out of circulation. Gun-related suicides and homicides declined dramatically in the years that followed.

In the meantime, Americans have lived through a litany of similar events where assault-style rifles were used in massacres at a high school in Parkland, Florida; a Baptist church in Texas; an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut; a nightclub in Orlando; and a concert in Las Vegas.

With few exceptions, the default response by American politicians, particularly on the right, was to offer thoughts and prayers — but no meaningful action. Substantive gun reform — such as reinstating a ban on assault-style weapons that only seem useful for killing large numbers of people — remains out of reach in America.






Culture matters.

We don't want too many immigrants from Australia or New Zealand.

The word "all" should be replaced with "most", politicians excel at lulling the public into a false sense of security.

It's a tactic that has literally been passed down for thousands of years by those that train the next "ruling class". Priests in ancient Babylon and Egypt used to tell the slaves that if the slaves didn't do as the priests demanded, the priests wouldn't "summon" the sun the next day and they'd all die. The slaves believed them and did what they demanded and, as promised, the priests "summoned" the sun every morning.
