Do not give up your guns. The Christchurch massacre, which has our PM racing around Silicon Valley with her anti-guns narrative, is not a story fully told. There's issues with help that he (Tarrant) had, good guys who are not good guys (that's just my hunch tbh) and the back story which has him as a white supremacist on the web when the evidence for that is very weak. And the only countries that he visited (other than NZ where he was based & Australia where he grew up) for 10 years were North Korea, China, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Texas. Russia too I think. And I would not call those he stayed with in Texas white supremacists exactly but they were quick to take down his chat with them on their website.

I used to be on the side of those who wanted to ban guns from private ownership. I've learnt my lesson the last few years.

Florida has concealed carry. In my opinion it makes it safer for everyone.

I'll share a story that happened half a mile or so from where I live.

There was a Woody's BBQ restaurant in a strip mall on the main road. It was dinner time. A man came in and went to the cashier, pulled out a gun, and demanded the money. The restaurant had quite a few people there at tables at the time. Two men, carrying concealed, from two different locations, stood up and fired on the thief. They missed. He fled.

We are a low crime area but that restaurant never had any fear of being robbed again. In fact, I can't think of a single restaurant or business in my community that has been robbed that way since.
