For anyone interested in this event and how it is being responded to politically, especially with regard to "gun laws", read this article (I know, I know, "It can't happen here..."):

New Zealand's Gun Laws Are Already Changing After the Christchurch Attacks
"To make our community safer, the time to act is now."

University of Waikato International Law Professor Alexander Gillespie :

"All firearms are a risk, but some [semi-automatic] are a much greater risk than others," he said. "It’s absolutely not about banning guns—it’s about banning that high-risk gun.” [Seriously?!]

"To make our community safer, the time to act is now," she [Prime Minister] said. "I want to remind people, you can surrender your gun to the police at any time. In fact, I have seen reports that people are in fact already doing this. I applaud that effort, and if you are thinking about surrendering your weapon, I would encourage you to do so."

Here's a photo of the Prime Minister adopting Muslim tradition of dress:



I wonder if she underwent FMG (female genital mutilation) so as to be truly empathetic with their culture?

When I respond to anti 2a when the gloat about people turning in their guns, I tell them " If someone feels like they are mentally unstable and will use their gun to kill innocent people, then by all means, they should surrender their guns".

I had a vasectomy because I got tired of the neighbors having too many kids.   :crazy:

TLDR, but how did he convert his guns to semi-auto?

Here's one possible way.

he lined up the gas block port over the barrel gas port, before it wasn't, it was off by 1/8".  and then he installed the gas tube right-side up.

just kidding, I made that up.  I have no idea how NZ sells a one-shot manual AR-15.

50 caliber in clip in less than half a second...
I say that again. half a second magazine in 30 calibers.

Never go full auto.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

My buddy in NZ is notorious for "bubba-ing" guns.  You'd cringe at what he'll try to do with a dremel.  He's half-maori and he tried to carve tribal designs into nice wood rifle stocks.  Some were AKs, but he's also tried it on pretty nice Enfields and such.  He's hilarious though.  I wouldn't put it past him to have done one of his custom jobs on an AR that converted it from semi-auto to a single shot AR.   :rofl:
