Despite Confiscation, New Zealand Sees Most Gun Crime in a Decade
<[link removed]>
On April 5, 2019, three days after New Zealand's Arms Amendment Act
2019 advanced from its first reading in parliament, NRA-ILA noted that
"[g]iven the abundant research on Australia’s similar gun
confiscation efforts, New Zealand officials can expect that their gun
control measures will do little more than trample the natural rights
of gun owners..." This week the first evidence vindicating this
position came in when Radio New Zealand (RNZ) published figures it had
obtained from the government showing that for last year crime
involving firearms was the highest it had been since 2009.

Perpetual Lockdown Batters Remnants of New York City’s Long-Lived
Gun Culture
<[link removed]>
Some of America’s most pro-gun people ironically inhabit some of its
most anti-gun locales. Like plants that can survive the harshest
desert climates, they are among the hardiest of their kind. And for
those in the know, they are as much a part of the Second Amendment
landscape as cacti are to the desert.

Glimpse of Toy Gun in School-Related Zoom Call Results in Police
Response to Family Home
<[link removed]>
Of all the recent developments in American life arising from state
lockdown orders, perhaps none is so sinister as public officials
encouraging people to inform on their neighbors and community members
for perceived violations of supposed safety protocols. This trend is
made all the worse by the fact that people are getting an
unprecedented glimpse into each others’ homes through pervasive
online video conferences now being used to facilitate activities like
work, school, and religious worship. For one family in Pennsylvania,
the “discomfort” a schoolmate’s parent felt about seeing a toy
gun in a Zoom call even resulted in police showing up at their home.
