SimplyTracie I look at it this way... if we had a leader worth his salt, he would unite both parties for a common cause. I say this because that’s what Trump boasted about a lot. Remember?
Look what NZ did after Christchurch March 15 this year. The Government has announced that the first tranche of gun law changes will be passed by April 12.
These changes include the ban on military-style semi-automatic weapons, assalt rifles and modifications that make legal guns more dangerous. The second tranche of laws - likely to include a gun registry - will take the form of a separate bill and could well take a lot longer.
Law changes - especially possibly contentious ones - often take longer than a year to get through the full legislative process, while this will take just two weeks.
The vote was carried 119 votes to one with almost complete
bipartisan support. It helps having a unicameral legislature The only dissenting voice was from the right wing libertarian ACT Party's sole MP, David Seymour.
