As an Australian we did the same thing 25 years ago. Since then we have had zero mass shooting events. All of our crime rates went down including gun crime, gun murder/assault and so on. The only thing that has gone up statistically is confidence in public safety and the reality of public safety. Best thing we ever did 👍🏽
Kiaora from across the ditch 👍
Australia 🤝 New Zealand: Banning Guns altogether
@@Boobasweat I hope you're not comparing that with USA, anecdotal examples don't really compare with statistical data. USA has had over 200 mass shootings this calendar year already - heavy handed policing doesn't really compare with that. I mean whilst we're talking about heavy handed policing, take a look at police homicide rates in EVERY Western country in comparison to USA.
Also, look at the end result of all of this, USA has the HIGHEST incarceration rate in the world. Higher than El Salvador, Turkmenistan, Rwanda, Cuba etc.
You absolutely did a half assed job of whatever you were failing to try to do here.
@@Boobasweat True, there are criminal gang shootings and while I appall any violence, this is very different to mass shootings. Hopefully they will not involve anybody outside the criminal gangs and more importantly they come to an end soon.
I still remember the news reports 😢
She’s 100% right. The US doesn’t have the courage or desire to fix the problem. Australia did much the same with good results.
It didn't fix the problem. There were 7 shootings in Auckland last night. Look it up. The headline is "Auckland shootings: 'Indiscriminate and reckless' use of guns in public says police after seven incidents overnight"
neither of those countries have a fraction of the population density or a 2nd amendment. we will start converting prisons into schools before we remove guns.
What a joke she is. Meanwhile back here in NZ was a spate of shootings, ram raids and violence. Our useless government and weak police do nothing while Chairman Arden preaches to the world. Pathetic
It's not so much courage as the profiteers who have a clamp on our system, and politicians getting paid good money to side with the interests of the NRA. Most Americans want something done abt this. In 20 years, we haven't been able to make a dent. It's not courage; it's failings in a compromised republic, in which a faction has the power to override the majority of the American voters. And a fallacy in the antiquated 2nd Amendment which leaves open interpretation for those who want to see in it only what they want.
I've been saying for years that I don't pay much attention to mass shootings in America. The American public don't wish to make it a priority so why should I? There are news stories of people dying in other countries that could use the spotlight more and where the people of that country do care about the problem.
I grew up in NZ and moved to America six years ago. My mother came to visit me and she nearly had a panic attack when we were having lunch because two cops walked in with visible guns on them. In NZ, you don't even really see the police with guns. It's been a culture shock, for sure.
You came from NZ a relative short time ago. And you are still unaware of the gang problems there!! Together with the huge increase in illegal firearms? Its only a matter of time and the general public in NZ will be at the mercy of the thugs and the ineffective government will still not have the will or the means to protect them. And by the way it was announced only a few days ago that the NZ police will also start being armed soon.
You should visit Australia. The cops have guns but the people don't get easy access. Problem solved.
must've been a nice part of nz. had a few gang shootouts this week in nz
@@tevitasila1427 oh dear, the cuzzies are at it again eh? I lived there for 12 years. Very nice, very pretty but there is a dark side you don't see, unfortunately. If it's not Black Power it's the Islanders going at each other with machetes etc.
@@tevitasila1427 isolated incident not nation wide I know there are gangs across no but large shootouts don’t happen often
It's absolutely baffling to me that American's just can't wrap their heads around doing what is best for their people in the long run. Almost like trying to have a conversation with a bunch of toddlers.
I WILL MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU. MASS SHOOTINGS FOR A POPULATION OUR SIZE IS TINY. SECOND THE CRIMINALS WILL ALWAYS GET GUNS, SO WE HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTECT OURSELVES. LASTLY, A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN OFTEN TIMES ENDS MASS SHOOTINGS MUCH QUICKER. HAPPENED JUST THIS WEEK.
@@bobdole7697 Typical robotic justification. It's always the same old repetitive nonsense over and over. So sad.
@@jamesphlames7498 I KNOW IT'S LIKE HEARING YOUR LEFTIES TALK ABOUT RACISM EVERY DAY.
well said.
Why not let individuals have Tanks, cannons, fighter jets, atom bombs for self preservation. If they don’t believe on policing and then why rely on military.
As an American who was there for Columbine and has lived in New Zealand for the last 17 years... ...can't say enough about Jacinda Ardern and the incredible job she has done here in NZ. It's very refreshing how things work here. Things get DONE!
Yuup child poverty increasing every year, dividing the country and ruining the economy…. Yeaah what an awesome leader!
Glad you enjoy living in our country as much as we enjoy having you here. Take care.
As an Aussie I have to agree with you. It is not just what she does, but also the humanity she shows as she does it. After our election, many of us are quietly optimistic that saying goodbye to our increasingly conservative governing coalition will lead to more changes, with climate change, gender issues and the establishment of a federal anti-corruption commission front and centre.
7 shootings on homes in Auckland last night.
Labour do a GREAT job of talking about getting things done and wasting money on consultants but achieving little.
I am a New Zealander 🇳🇿 we don't have corrupt pale stale male politicians sending piss weak prayers and thoughts ... we have a young mother who gets the job done ... America you need to vote like your children's lives depend on your vote
You are blessed
Your system of funding pensions is envious. It really came in handy during the pandemic. We have a system of legalized indentured servitude.
Luxon said today he wants to give police warrantless search powers... Don't stop voting Kiwis!!
As a Brits, can I live and work there? I just love her
Yayyyyy, on my wayyy
I remember an image of this woman with a scarf around her head embracing a family member of one of the victims and I remember thinking why can't we in the US elect people like her??
You could pay someone to wear a head scarf, hug people and look empathetic.. You'd get the same results too, probably better results actually.
@@Roflcrabs U & people like U R the reason the US is so fucked up.
You absorb media like no other, it appears! She's like Trudeau and a Globalist
She is a fraud and has ruined New Zealand
@@NEbluefire Some of the most corrupt leaders are female . Putting women into politics was supposed to lessen war and violence
That didn’t happen in fact things have worsened
When COVID first hit Australia and New Zealand, I remember laughing at my colleague in NZ when he told me they were going into a two week heavy lockdown right off the bat, while we in Australia we having mild restrictions. Boy did he get the last laugh. We were having months after month of rolling lockdown, while he was enjoying New Zealand's great outdoors.
It's an illusion buddy. We had lockdowns, masking, vaccination here in Canada yet the cases kept rising. Sure you could say it was a fringe few who were spreading it but it was highly sus when 90% were vaccinated yet we had double the case count as the year before.
It's not a race mate... 🤣 so glad the liar from the shire is no longer in charge 🙏
And there still locked down…Auckland airport is a disgrace was there in May 2022 and May 2021 almost a year to the day.. everything closed what a joke compared to Australia
@@MrPuketiro Auckland airport compared to the whole of Australia? Just the airport probably still outperformed us under the leadership of the infamous Scott Morrison....
@@davespanksalot8413 yes, Scotty from Marketing is gone.
As an Aussie, it’s our sworn duty to put down NZ as the weird step-cousin nation that they are and take their actors and claim they’re Australian.
But Jacinda is off limits. She is the standard by which all world leaders should look up to and I’d be proud to have her as my leader.
......*but we're still taking Crowded House though!!!
Aw, you West Islanders are so cute...
Keep Russell Crowe
@@becsterbrisbane6275 non-negotiable, AC/DC are geriatric and we haven’t had a talented indie rock band in decades. You can keep Serj Tankian.
@@tajtandoori9076 lmao we took Russel Crowe from youse and we let him buy the Rabbitohs, the rubbish takes out itself 😂
As an Australian, it is my duty to heap scorn and insults upon New Zealand like the slightly slow younger sibling that they are.
Ah hell, I can't. I have nothing bad at all to say about Jacinda Ardern, I think she's a treasure, a strong and vibrant leader that Kiwis can be proud of. We're taking our first overseas trip in 3 years in January, another cruise to New Zealand from Australia, and I can't wait. Gorgeous country and wonderful people, even if they talk kinda funny.
Comon mate strewth lol
Lol great comment Des, have a beautiful time in Aotearoa cuz.
"kinda talk funny "
haha, listened to your own voice lately? :)
We'll welcome you with open arms, may even buy you a beer. (spelt xxxx)
Crikey Mate!!! ANd you say us Kiwis speak funny....LOL, gotta love the Aussies
younger siblings? aw c'mon man, only by 48,000 years!
"Come back and make us whole again" - could there be a more beautiful way to welcome someone!
Yeah it would be if it wasnt so disingenuous.
@@feralstryke so you're saying NZD doesn't actually want tourists and visitors to come back?
@@jaimel88 no dont put words in my mouth. Jacinda doesnt want tourist and visitors she could care less. If it was up to her she'd have new zealanders in lockdown forever.
@@feralstryke source? It sure seems (like the country's actual policy) that she wants them all back.
@@jaimel88 she just seems like shes acting to me. She and Colbert joked about covid like it was nothing. If you want to believe she has good intent that's your prerogative. I'll remain skeptical.
The current NZ PM is a good actress
“We saw something and it wasn’t right and we acted on it”. What a novel concept for US policymakers!
US = land of the free
I'll sum up the problem in the U.S. racism and religion.
Yup hammered law abiding gun owners and Noone else
And yet in the day or 2 leading up to her interview there was nine shooting incidents in Auckland . All that happened with our gun laws is that law abiding citizens had to turn in their guns and gangs seem to more heavily armed than ever before
@@timcorcoran9786 yup and if you didn't turn them in because they are deemed legal they are making it harder to keep them...let's see what happens to the country when they manage to ban all guns...they will be crying because introduced animals like deer,pigs and possums are decimating the place
Interesting to see a politician who actually works for her people.
A unicorn if ever there was one.
Refreshing, isn’t it?
Yes an novel concept in amerikkka it would seem
that's literally the only thing they are elected to do. I hope when new ones join a government, in any country, that is first and foremost on their mind.
I am an immigrant and I hope to join the US government as a progressive when I get my citizenship.
By works for her people i assume you mean treats them like slave
"We saw something that wasn't right and acted on it." Bravo!
How radical innit… 🤔
Now gun crimes are the worst ever...that's great innit
@@the56blitz depends on what you class as a mass shooting...aramoana and raurimu were mass shootings also
@@rickferguson6794 Your absolutely right. I've removed my statement.
@@the56blitz why..you were right jacinda has made it worse..there's shooting every night now
I lived in New Zealand for eight and a half months. Wonderful country. Amazing wildlife
I live in New Zealand and I would consider it great if it were not for having Ardern.
The problem on planet Earth is not the wildlife!!
adern the devil
As an Australian I feel so proud of Jacinda and NZ…I’m so grateful we took the action against gun control after the Port Arthur tragedy in 1996. …my thoughts are with the victims and families of the latest shooting..another tragedy that should never ever have happened.
I'm another Aussie who thinks Jacinda is awesome. And whilst I despise Johnny Howard for many of the things he has done, the gun buyback he supported worked to drive down gun deaths.
@@RevYars yes we literally saw the gun deaths dive deep down to near zero after that, and most of those gun deaths reduced has been suicides
And we see how well that worked out for Australia...gun violence went down, yes, but rape, robbery, murder assault, violent crime in general all skyrocketed, and on top of that, you guys still got another mass shooting. It literally does nothing but disarm good people. Do you seriously believe you can magically legislate evil hate from a man's heart? Do you seriously think you can magically make every criminal follow the law and not get or make their own gun, especially on a place like America which has more guns than people? You are very naive with no real world experience and just parrot whatever you hear on the media. We don't hide and pretend evil doesn't exist, we do something to prepare against it. Event year 30,000 lives are taken from gun violence, suicide and justified shootings included, on the LOWEST end estimate, 500,000 lives are saved every year directly due to firearms. It isn't even close. You aren't in the business in public safety, so don't lie to us, you are in the business of disarming your public. If you truly wanted to save lives you would advocate for concealed carry, because it is much easier and realistic to arm everyone than to disarm everyone.
You have elected the best politician in the world
@@randybernhard8437 I don't know where you get your information from, but I live in Australia, and we don't live in fear of violence whatsoever. I can walk anywhere at night by myself with no fear of violence. And our kids can go to school without fear. We are disarmed and we wouldn't have it any other way. It is realistic, it happened, and it's awesome, and you are living in a world of lies and violence, bought by lobbyists, and you're too dumb to realise you are being lied to.
She’s not just the prime minister of NZ ,she’s also the gateway for vulnerable people of the pacific,her actions protect a space larger than any other on this planet.
I cant wait for her and Albo the catch up, they will be a power pair of the Pacific hopefully.
You're confusing her with Aquaman...
@@Hurricayne92 oh god I hope so
Good point!!! 💯✌️❤️🇦🇺
@@rhettsycoplando4064 came here to say exactly the same thing.
Ardern you should be ashamed of yourself!! What you’ve done to NewZealand
Why I think America is such a divided and messed up country is that you bang on about your rights and freedom, but don’t seem to understand that they come with responsibilities and obligations. We live in communities and are reliant on each other, it’s not all about the individual. Understand that and you will have real freedom.
This, what you've just written is hella true... Ask any of these gun nuts what the Second Amendment actually States and I almost guarantee you at least eight out of ten of them cannot tell you Verbatim what it says
We are objectively a nation of volatile idiots
I think this is what happens when you spend most of your time telling the rest of the world how great you are, when you really in reality spend very little time doing anything that's actually great... Like for example letting your citizens get shot up damn near on a daily basis en mass!
My mate's son and his partner were lucky enough to land a gig surveying the ecology of a small NZ island. Population a couple of thousand. Two years. They loved it. 18 months in Covid hit and they got an extension and stayed put. Now they have applied for nationality and are looking to build a house on the island.

@@shervinnasrin I don't know where you live but the local prices have gone insane.
@@shervinnasrin Sure, but that’s not her fault. That’s just a symptom of a global pandemic and how it’s impacted supply lines, manufacturing, and all industries. Not to mention the economic and resource consequence of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.
@@shervinnasrin wow the economy is doing what it's doing everywhere else in the world. It's almost like housing prices and grocery prices aren't related to your elected officials.

Well here in New Zealand we've seen her true colors and we all, fell for this act. The smile, the beautifully articulated answers, she smiles and screws he face with every second word.
My God if only it held up in her actions and delivering in the 1000 things she has promised in her time as NZs leader, it goes to show identity politics and good presentation gets you far, but career politicians have shown and Jacinda Ardern is used as a prime example, that they will always fail miserably and inevitably end up two face with no substance and not a single shred of responsibility. Never mind the big things, for me it's the absolute smallest most irrelevant things that you think she should be able to say I was wrong. But no absolutely not no accountability at all. She's pathetic, after seeing this you know these career politicians really are all the same. Get of your ass and stop relying on what people say and instead on what people DO.

Someone asked a prominent New Zealander why they didn't seem to have the same number of right-wing issues that countries like the US were having. The answer was along the lines of, "We haven't allowed Murdoch to get a foothold in this country."
I think lots of people from the UK, USA, and Australia would agree.
Good comment. I agree 100%
Your comment really brings home the disturbing fact -> how much malignant influence one billionaire could have in multiple countries

I've always known that Murdoch was a cancer on society but I didn't appreciate just how localised his effects could be.
I'm sure there are other social aspects of why one country might be more affected, but it makes you think.
It's a shame, that his mother, Dame Elizabeth, was a lovely, kind-hearted woman. She would be ashamed of his actions and his impact on the world.

Humans need to stop infighting long enough to topple our oppressors
Mitch McConnell is Emperor Palpatine
Some of you will die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make! - Lord Trump
@Justin Y. Trump is evil. He ignored this virus until he couldn't ignore it...the steps taken have been deliberately slow to contain this virus, as the government has made huge financial gains in allowing particularly older, retired people to die...no more pay outs each month...voting, if still valid in this country...is our only peaceful, legal recourse...voting 3rd party is the ONLY WAY to get real humans in power, rather than dynasty families and career politicians. When we realize the 2 parties we are divided over LOVE the division among us...then and only then may America be great again...
@Justin Y. Lack of knowledge of the deep state? I just accused our government of mass murder...I understand deep state...fact that you refuse to listen, only attack, says too much about you...clearly you haven't known hardship. Clearly none of this has impacted you negatively...you are part of the problem, offering zero solutions.
@Justin Y. Calling me stupid really helps your case...Trump has very limited brain power, as evidenced by his rambling, generally repetitive, toddler talks...although most of us are sorely undereducated, Trump really amazes me every time i listen to his banter. Trump did not close the borders in time, many flights to the USA brought sick folk here. Action wasn't taken until very late February, and by then 15 confirmed cases were more than enough to basically allow what amounts to airborn, quickly lethal AIDS《why this? (Because this virus mutates too fast to create an effective vaccine, which may never get made), upon the world. This is dangerous because common behaviors of common folk, such as shoulder to shoulder events, shopping and sardine packed working conditions, helped this virus along...even as people died in China daily...America went forward 2 full months wothout any concerns...then...rather than force the hands of state officials, and put the population through a 2 month quarantine, we've been seeing states react, rather than prepare...and all at the natural stages this virus thrives on...complacency among enough of us to allow the spread to continue. You refusing to see this logic isn't a blight on my mental capacity, just proves you are as simple as our Lord Trump...and likely among those very few, who like many elites, don't even understand the plight of the masses, whom I speak for, in this contrived crisis...Trump is calm about the virus because he exists outside the bounds of common folk...Trump and other powerful people would never have to take the risk of infection seriously as they are all well protected by expendable servants or can at the least afford to continue living lavishly and distanced from peons such as myself. 9/11 was an inside job and this proves what I've feared since then...that the government can perform mass murder and the people will always just accept it, hire the next sociopath in line, whichever of the 2 evil divisionary parties they aspire to dwell in...
Our educational system is archaic. We could be educating everyone from home...there are no valid excuses for our current broken schooling, and no teachers need lose jobs...as the internet is an amazing communication device...
Taxes are broken. Your dollar earned gets hit so many times...and we all just accept that blindly.
Medicine is broken. My grandmother died because her selfish daughter needed cable tv more than grandma needed diabetes medicine...and millions suffer from the inability to afford insulin, despite that drug initially starting out as a gift to humanity from a generous genius, privatized by evil and greed, priced beyond reality for most.
Our 2 party system is designed to keep us bickering...division keeps us docile enough to accept our own government conspiring to murder us, with our acceptance. 3rd party candidates are generally real humans...that care about other humans, even, gasp, total strangers and foreigners...
We are all on the same damn spaceship...Earth. I judge character...not race, not whatever religion folks are born into. I am old...I am tired of seeing disaster after disaster get slow attention from government, as poor people die in thousands due to delayed or nonexistent help.
It's about time the many take control, with votes, to dethrone the sociopaths that control us, play games with our very lives...
When there are only voluntary homeless, when the janitor is paid living wage, when a high school graduate can earn enough in food service, or retail, to support a modest home and essentials, while creating a nest egg...when veterans are given the same care as Congress, Senate and other positions of highest power, rather than left to suffer and die, when the lowest paying jobs are enough to survive on, then and only then, can America boast of being great...
As it stands...I feel most of us are born into lies we have no control over...It's well orchestrated, as my points are made clear in every satirical broadcast about the plight of the expendable masses, world wide...
Do I want peace, equity and kumbaya? Yeah...I do...are there sociopaths in power oppressing the common folk...yeah...there are...have good Democrats and Republicans existed? Yes...they get blocked by evil at every turn, often resigning due to unbeatable corruption. Do I pity the very people I label simple? You bet I do...I want this planet to be a better place for most...not some...for all...if ever possible...
This covid virus isn't done. It mutates too fast to pin it down with a vaccine...and we haven't seen the end of it because we, as a planet, would have to agree on a few ground rules to consider being a functional society.
That's my 2 cents...some of it...take it or leave it. Most of us just exist and watch, lazily, rather than get directly involved in change. @soaringvulture We don't seem to take note...we, the expendable masses, are being told to push through life ignoring this virus...it took ONE infection to start a Planet Wide Pandemic...and because we didn't quarantine from January 1st to February, we get to watch innocent and otherwise lives lost, daily...who are "we", in "we're in it together"? Certainly not the elite...they step on us to avoid harm...I'm furious with humanity as a whole...I'm furious we accept all this death and Trump's toddler talks...like a Ted talk without useful insight...
Those of us suffering are many...while the privileged watch the show They created...when...when will the common folk unite against tyranny, through the only peaceful means we have...vote out career politicians and dynasty families in favor of fellow human beings, with consciousness and compassion for the lowest among us.
We won't stop the cycle of abuse by trading Democrats and Republicans, two sides of the same evil, corrupt coin.
Vote 3rd party...vote for real people, with flaws, that understand what struggle is...that have put time behind any of these so called essential, yet minimum wage jobs...
This economy is screwed...always has been. The vast majority of work available is menial labor...food service, retail, janitors, grocers...a great many take their wages in government...which is far too big, complex and unsustainable...
Until any job can offer a modest secure household, until the only homeless are those who volunteer to live "free"...until the pill giants are mandated to make life saving medicine reasonably priced...we are a selfish, horrid nation, divided by the very people that oppress us, yet too busy fighting amongst ourselves to take any useful action towards a better tomorrow for the MANY, not the FEW

Random Trivia: There are more people subscribed to this channel than there are New Zealanders in the world.
God that's depressing.
In 1774 England banned guns/gunpowder in the 13 American colonies!! Attempted gun confiscation on April 19 1775 by 8-900 English soldiers in the colony of Mass. started that 8 year war for independence & England almost won that war in 1783!! BTE in colonial America 1607-1776, there were 'temporary gun confiscations' & the guns were stored in gunpowder houses built away from urban areas!!
As a NZer who has voted for Jacinda (and who will again) it is heartening to read so many comments from other people not from NZ who see her the same as I do, a caring leader who is passionate about our country. As heartening as that is, it is equally saddening to know what her popularity is becoming at home, because people don't appreciate or understand the decisions she has had to make and some view her as dictatorial or a "communist". Personally I am thankful of her leadership through this time and looking at the political landscape here in NZ at the start of Covid and even now, there is no one else I would have wanted in charge guiding us through these times.
Can America borrow her when you guys are done?
Can you imagine if Bridges or Crusher was in charge? "Open up the border! Won't someone think of the corporations?" Like Stephen said, the US would have had less than a tenth of the deaths comparatively. I know it has been really stressful on business owners, esp. Hospitality and Tourism, but anyone who is ungrateful needs to look at the global response and measure our success against other countries. No contest.
Agree 100%
Sadly there is a memo that seems to do the rounds for right wingers to share (let's call it an algorithm) that teaches spindoctors and media outlets how to portray somebody as, say, communist, which seems to have great effect in getting people to vote against their own best interests. (It was posited by George Monbiot should you care to look into the thing)
As an Indian...I love this women...she listens to her people thats what people want every politician
See America? This is what politicians are supposed to be like, responding to the needs of the people and not the desires of lobbyists.

Stephen being friends with New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern. Such a lovely friendship.💗
Hello Wendy
What an amazing leader. And a mother, too. To all those American women (the embarrassing and ignorant ones) who have said women can't lead (you know who you are) bow your heads in shame. She helps prove the falsehood of your claims.
And we've had a few female Prime Ministers too (Jenny Shipley and Helen Clark).
And we were the first country in modern times to give women the vote.
The idiots who say that fail to realize that there have been amazing female leaders. From Queen Elizabeth 1 to the last Queen of Hawaii to Jacinta Ardern to Merkel to the leader of taiwan
Jacinda is a dude!
@@VTR1997 no thank you, she’s an intelligent woman not a “dude”. Please don’t insult her.
Helen Clark was the first 'elected' female Prime Minister in New Zealand and Jacinda Adern is the second. Jenny Shipley inherited the position but wasn't voted in.
In my view Helen and Jacinda are the best PM's we've had in recent history.
Seems like everyone outside USA ( new Zealand, Australia,Canada,Germany, UK,etc) had more common sense and better laws that really protect citizens.
Well here in New Zealand we've seen her true colors and we all, fell for this act. The smile, the beautifully articulated answers, she smiles and screws he face with every second word.
My God if only it held up in her actions and delivering in the 1000 things she has promised in her time as NZs leader, it goes to show identity politics and good presentation gets you far, but career politicians have shown and Jacinda Ardern is used as a prime example, that they will always fail miserably and inevitably end up two face with no substance and not a single shred of responsibility. Never mind the big things, for me it's the absolute smallest most irrelevant things that you think she should be able to say I was wrong. But no absolutely not no accountability at all. She's pathetic, after seeing this you know these career politicians really are all the same. Get of your ass and stop relying on what people say and instead on what people DO.

No system is 'perfect'.. because it involves people. And people, rather famously, are imperfect.
But just because you can't stop all crimes doesn't mean you should throw away the justice system... so why do the GOP throw up their hands and say 'Well, we can't stop all gun violence, so... here. Have a gun, kid!"?
Oh yeah... NRA money.
This argument is often called the "utopia argument". Often employed by children (and the GOP).
E.g. "No point wearing seatbelts when driving a car or wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle - people still die in traffic accidents."
Well, Sandy Hook in 2012 illustrated, imo, that no matter how many people want something done abt these fucking guns, our political system serves the interests of NRA profiteers over the will of the nationwide majority of voters. No one is more in the pockets of NRA lobbyists than the GOP.
Just because you have laws, when you have 3 to 7 yr olds who have the right to tell their Mom or Dad please put away your gun i'ts upsetting, Please make other choices, who will speak for them when they cannot speak for themselves? That's what's being missed here.
@@jarls5890 both of those are good examples, because if you go back and look at the conservative arguments at the time for each of those laws then you would see they are IDENTICAL to the ones being used now, infringing on freedom, turning into a police state, but I am not dangerous, criminals will just ignore it etc etc etc.
Its as if they never actually learn from history and actively go out of their way to reuse the same arguments
the GOP's base is the dumb and entitled....without that....
Why would criminals turn in guns?
You can’t “buy them back” if you’ve never owned them in the first place

@@andymack75 I know you’re being sarcastic but this is not an unimportant detail that can be ignored. The politicians use very specific language like “buyback” because confiscation has a negative tone to it, even though what they’re doing is an obvious confiscation.

Also im from Christchurch, location of one of the worst mass shootings to ever happen. (I think the second time in NZ history?!) I have friends and collegues that were directly affected by this and it breaks my heart. When this event happened we were locked down at work in th CBD.. a very distrurbing day (and this coming from dealing with 5 years of quakes, aftershocks and rebuilding.). While the mass-shooter wasnt even from in NZ he targeted our society and our open/welcoming culture. I was pleased that our government responding with action. A few months later I would be handing over my semi automatic hunting rifle for this scheme. While the remington 3006 5 shot semi auto rifle used for deer shooting etc (didnt really fit the military assalut rifles ~ AR15s etc) but I would happily hand it over again. A bolt action is enough to take down deer.

This aged like milk
I was genuinely surprised that New Zealand only inforced gun control/ banning in 2019. Australia has had this since 96
No government likes to ban things, but when an Australian murdered 51 people in Christchurch because he could get the weapons in NZ more easily than he could in Australia, it was a big wake up call. Maybe it takes a tragedy of such magnitude to stop the noise and get all a nation's politicians on the same side. Ardern was PM, but it should not be forgotten that all the opposition parties supported the change. Only one MP in the whole parliament voted against the bill.
They were banned long b4 2019. It wasonmy some that weren't that she thrn took in 2019 all planned to disarm EVERYONE except the drug dealers etc. I can't believe how ignorant and naive these comments are.
New Zealand has had strict gun laws for many years prior. To buy a firearm you need a license which involves backround checks, interviews and a visit to ensure you have a suitable locked safe to store it in. The 2019 ban extended these laws to ban several types of semiautomatic firearms.
NZ Has always has strict gun controls. It was the Automatic and semi-automatics - many that has been imported by private individuals or gun clubs that got clamped down on. Not anyone can own a gun. Security checks and licencing is priority first before anyone can even own any type of gun, and those that don't get them confiscated and either destroyed or they need to get a licence to own operate and lock it away when not in use. No licence - no gun - that simple.
@@sarahbaker6625 In 1774 England banned guns/gunpowder in the 13 American colonies!! attempted gun confiscation on April 19 1775 by 8-900 English soldiers in the colony of Mass. started that 8 year war for independence & England almost won that war in 1783!! BTW in colonial America 1607-1776, there were 'temporary gun confiscations' & the guns were stored in the gunpowder houses, built away from urban areas!!
"I won't sit here and say that our system is perfect." That might contribute to the system being able to move forward with such a policy. As a European I don't see the majority of US citizens subscribe to such a sentiment.
True, they usually use "If you don't like it, you can move..." instead.
It's so idiotic that US citizens go stomping around hollering, "We're number one!"

I wonder what would happen if just one--just one!--state enacted laws prohibiting the ownership and use of weapons designed for military use. Sometimes all it takes is one courageous group/person to step forward and do the right thing.
You mean gun controlled cities like Chicago?
already happened. California and the city of Chicago, but yet they have high amounts of shootings.
They have already enacted those laws.
Our military also uses pistols. Should we ban handguns bc the military has them? In fact, our 2nd amendment states that the people are to own anything the military owns so we can have a fair fight if they become tyrannical. Our 2nd amendment rights are already being broken and have been for many years.
Weapons designed for military use are just regular weapons the military adopted, there has never been a gun the US military has used that was invented solely for the military to use.

hmm. Imagine that.
I appreciated how she stated "they legally purchased these guns & it’s our duty to buy them back". That, there, is a breath of fresh air. The smog in USA is stifling
Actually Australia has had numerous mass shootings since 1996, but your government changed the definition of a mass shooting where if 5 or 6 people are killed by a shooter, it doesn't count as a mass shooting. The guy that did the Port Arthur shooting was taking prescription anti depressant and anti anxiety pills, which are known to cause homicidal behavior in some people.
Up to 1996, there about was one mass shooting in 🇦🇺 per year. After 1996, there has been at most one or two in the quarter-century up to now.
By any measure, that’s a massive improvement.
@@captainamerica4685 hahaha there's always some Yank parroting this lie. Na mate, mass shootings don't happen here whether your definition is 3 or 6 or 10
Watching this from the UK. The school shooting in USA was terrible, so very upsetting to hear about. Something needs to be done and NOW. Your guest, as always, a breath of fresh air. She's shown how it can be done. Obviously no Prime Minister or President is ever universally popular at home, but this lady is a great example of how to lead a country. I wish she were British, and running things here instead of the current bunch of lying self serving idiots. I genuinely hope that in the USA you can finally get some movement on the gun problem. That 'right to bear arms' stuff may have been fine in the Old West, not now.
Well think about it this way. If you remove the right to own guns from the people. Sure you get rid of mass shootings however the government has all the weapons, imagine if a dictator was placed in power especially one with a crocodile smile... not good for the people at all.
Actually even in the old west when things were supposedly lawless there was no right to bear arms. Most of the towns had laws requiring anyone who had a gun to turn it over to an authority figure such as the sheriff or hotel manager as soon as they entered town.
The idea that everybody was walking around all the time wearing a gun and a trove of extra bullets is just one of many false myths that Hollywood made up.
Reportedly the famous shootout at the OK Corral was caused by some people breaking the law and walking around town wearing guns so clearly authorities took things very seriously when someone refused to obey the law to turn in their guns and tried to wear guns in town.
Shes a terrible prime minister. She said this same thing 2 years ago, and yet nothing has changed. We still have gun violence in nz

You say that as if gun owners in America are a small group of people… It’s the majority of people, Guns are not the problem mental illness and lack of armed security at schools is the problem funny how it’s always the people in power who want to push to take your guns ever think to ask yourself why like when the Nazi’s went and disarmed countries and took them over…
A nation of sheep and added to that human sheep. Submit to the government. Subjects, not citizens…
@@glynnellis6519 uh sure Glynn whatever floats your boat. Personally as an actual person from New Zealand, I would rather live here than anywhere else 💁🏼♀️
@@glynnellis6519 Like a moth to a flame
@@frederickleaupepe9162 agree but this government are fucking this country.
Number 2 on trending, cheers Aunty Cindy
Jacinda and family you are the most wonderful and helpful government that ever governed this country. From Grant and family.
your lack of awareness made me cringe so hard.
As a New Zealander I can say we're very proud of our leader who handled the pandemic the right way.
As a New Zealander I can say that I’m not proud 🥱😌
@@VanillaBerryx0 you have nothing to be proud of.
@@mdstate829 And saving our lives. As a matter of curiosity are you an Anti-Vaxxer too?
@@VanillaBerryx0 Would you rather have had the pandemic "handled" like Trump did?
@@warren52nz no I dislike trump also I dislike all political leaders They made Covid in a lab because the whole purpose of it is that they want to kill us off
When foreign leaders care more than your politicians...
Yip. In NZ we feel the same. Fake promises to please her next employer
@@fastrotamazda713 💯
She doesn't give a flying fuck. Wake up.
Don't buy into the hype. She's not well liked at all here.
Its all an Act
They are conning you into your own slavery
what happend to the innocent ones is horrific. It's not sweet as pie here,The problem is gangs in NZ still have there guns, and a big govt payout to gangs as well,her politcs lately have disrespected my country's human rights!!!
What a sham
"We're a pragmatic people. We saw a problem and we acted."
And what was the result? We now have more gun violence by gangs then ever before
Seems so simple. Kentucky
Her accent alone cries no ancestors in New Zealand. What happened to the real natives that have had guns removed 🤔? What color was the shooter ? That quickly changed the buy up guns? Colbert never asked how much did you buy at what price? Single gun revolver, AK machine guns? A musket?
@@eleanormedina6703 Typical American, always excuses. But but but but
@@eleanormedina6703 wow. What a rambling mess. I am sure you can look up the details of the buyback if that's what you're actually curious about. The color of the shooter? Why would that be relevant to the topic of discussion? What's with her ethnicity/ heritage? Bizarro train of thoughts spinning out of that brain pan.
As an Australian, I would vote for her as our Prime Minister as well. She's very impressive.
My dream… (hear me out..).. we (“Straya”) formally declare war with NZ… 10 seconds after the declaration, we surrender unconditionally. Jacinda now governs Australia…. *dreamy sigh*
@@milo4604 😆 ... 🤔
Anyone is better than Scomo and corrupt liberals, but you got rid of him
Take her mate. She's all yours. You're a prison colony and that's where she belongs!
@@milo4604 Sounds like a plan😂
Please take her USA!What do you want?Beer?Wine?Just take Jacinda.Please.Put us out of our misery!
I feel for the good law-abiding people of NZ
Thank you
This lady Rocks ... why the hell can't we get people like this into Gov leadership positions? Instead we get a bunch of incompetent geriatrics. 🤬 Jocinda Ardern for President! 👍
Right wing capitalists like pelosi and clyburn and mcconnell are competent, they just work for rich looters and big business not working class people
@Richard Pierpoint Stacy Abrams too
Stacy Abrams for President!!!
Take a number. As an Australian, we call dibs on her first. Jacinda for Australia’s PM!🙌
" why the hell can't we get people like this into Gov leadership positions?" Because so many people are apathetic and won't 1. get out and vote and 2. hold their representatives accountable.
I’m an Australian but damn I love this woman she is a fantastic leader and an inspiration she is great
You can keep her as long as we have Riccardo Bosi
She is a nut job
The mosque shooter got his guns from a source outside New Zealand. The criminals will get the guns regardless. Gun control only makes the innocent defenceless but NZ doesn't have a constitution so that is how it was able to be done.
and now guncrime is worse and gangs are out of control
#1 it's an Island #2 it's gonna be interesting when government goes full tyrannical and decides that some citizens are not really worthy of having rights. Good luck then, children.
There's your motto America "Never Again!!" now everyone band together and make it happen!
Pipe Dream! Columbine happened in the 90s, Zero changes since. Real sad
The 2A is forever!!
VOTE like your child's life depends on it, because it does. The people who make up government at every level are in control, but we still have time to choose those who will represent our views. 💙🇺🇸🌊
Beware of disinformation peddlers. Gullible people will think that the wrong people would do good for their child’s life.
It’s not just voting for views… look at who’s funding them!! If it’s the NRA, insurance, gas, and pharmaceutical companies do not vote for them! Even corporate media… pushes their, other companies I mentioned, agenda. They are the ones ruining our democracy.
It's sad but that isn't likely to happen. These children lost their lives like so many before and so many yet to come. The parents can't even take solace that their loss might have helped prevent someone else's loss. Regardless of what side of the fence you are on you have a neutered, ineffective governance for the population. Buisness, lobby groups all have the power and are in control. The person you elect is their representative, not yours, Just a thought.
Every child deserves protection from the lawless and the criminally deranged. Every teacher should be allowed to carry a firearm and we should have an armed police officer at every school not just high schools. More than one answer than creating a civil war trying to take people's guns lol. Democrats and Republicans both have no idea what they are doing.
MK Ultra
This is why she was the most raciest prime minister ever
As a New Zealander I dislike
"You don't need a military style semi-automatic weapon to keep peace" this phrase should be engraved on all schools and town halls in America.
This may be true ,but if the people don't need semi automatic weapons then the police or Government doesn't need them either.
@@davidgoff357 Wouldn't you feel safer seeing ANY weapons in the hands of those who has the mentality and responsibility to handle it? Instead of in the hands of irrational teens who devoted their lives in violent video games and couldn't take a joke?
yes, you need fully automatic ones, drones and nukes.
