The owner of the gun store that sold firearms to the suspect in Friday’s terror attack on two mosques in New Zealand says that he will support authorities' attempts to introduce tighter gun laws to prevent future mass shootings.
Tipple dodged any further questions on gun law and refused to offer his personal views on the topic, saying"today is not the day" to address the country's firearms debate."Please respect me on this. I'm going to leave if these are the only questions," he told reporters. A-category firearms include some semi-automatic weapons, Reuters reported, but they must be restricted to seven shots.
New Zealand’s hunting culture and strong gun lobby have choked previous attempts to shore up the country’s gun laws, the BBC reported.
He should be sued for damages to the families for not questioning the murderer
What decent nations do.
Imagine that.
Are all New Zealanders so decent? Willing to listen to the other side? Thinking of the overall good?I dare say here in the US gun righters would be digging in their heels and telling us why everyone needs to go out and immediately buy their own guns if they already don’t own one.
It's a shame we have so many phallically challenged men in the United States. Guns more important than people.
Forward thinking nation. We are still stuck with 45
A lesson to learn for the NRA and the Republicans. It is just commonsense and has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment. MMFlint billmaher politico HuffPostPol
It won’t really work. What might work is AI recognition of peoples gait and posture. It’s different depending on their mental state.
Soooooo ummmm nobody is going to mention that hair being off skelter

Change is what happens when intelligent, compassionate citizens and leaders unite for the greater good No NRA to bully politicians. No PAC money to threaten campaign donations. No Koch brothers to subvert the will of the citizens. Wake up America SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer

Maybe because they got no NRA lobbyists down there?
Could you imagine putting money over people's lives? What kind of sick country would do such a thing

Yes, that's the man who love his country and it people. Good for you Mr. David Tipple and especially good for New Zealand.
NRA are you paying attention?
What was left out of this interview was he stated that NONE of the guns used in the shootings came from his store. Context context context !!!
