We have an elected Australian senator blaming Muslims for the act. He was egged today by a young man and he turned around and punched him twice in the head.

So we aren't all that much different, us and US.

NZ PM:

"While work is being done as to the chain of events that lead to both the holding of this gun licence and the possession of these weapons,” said Ardern. “I can tell you one thing right now; our gun laws will change."
AKA, what a rational and normal response is.

Gun reform in NZ within 10 days. May as well build a giant wall all around America, the rest of the planet lives in a different universe anyway.

And this is why the Dems probably don’t win come 2020

The GOP has and will do anything to suppress the vote.

This should be issue number one for any democrat running.

The Dems probably don’t win because they don’t have the felon vote?

Did I hear you correctly?

That Kyle Griffin account is essentially a news bot, isn't he?

All of that money and Ally McBeal still won't learn to use the tweet embed tool.

Just a note Vlad, if you’re using the app, it auto embeds. So Mr. McBeal might not notice.

Who does this potential law impact the most ???

The people voted to allow felons the right to vote.

Then the GOP realized oh, that’s a lot more democratic voters.

And i always use the app

I would say that there’s a systemic oppression of minorities that make them more likely to be incarcerated, and the GOP is well aware that it strategically doesn’t favor them so they support the oppression.

But the notion that the democrats require the former felon vote to win is almost supportive of the GOPs position. You might as well go around saying “the democrats need the illegal vote”.

As though they’re relying upon these “tactics” to win.

But they’re not. They already have the popular vote. The head count exists. They just need the right distribution on a well ran campaign.

The notion that ex-felons should be able to vote is an abstract thought that they’ve done their time and if they’re free they should have their rights restored. It isn’t some strategic ploy. It’s a moral high ground. It’s not like anybody is trying to pass a law to give undocumented immigrants the right to vote.

Hi Americans, New Zealand, in the space of a week, just banned semi-automatic and assault rifles.
