Did those gun laws include the government? |

“owning a firearm is a privilege and not a right”
No, it IS a right, it's just that New Zealand refuses to recognize it as such.
It is a right inherent in ALL people, no matter what nationality or where they live.
That is why our country is superior to all others; our founding philosophy places all power in the people, who then selectively delegate certain powers to the government.
Irrefutable truth: You are born alone, and you die alone, and everything between is transient.
The individual is the most important thing in creation. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
