It will undoubtedly be New Zealand's most deadly mass shooting.They are still only confirming 9 dead but that is going to be so much higher sadly. 50 or more would not surprise me.

Yep, you can't help where you were born or who to but a hell of a lot of people place a great deal of value in it. The irony of this guy railing against Muslim imperialism and invasion to Western countries is staggering given he is allegedly a white Australian. What does he think that Colonialism was?
"Yes, the person that has influenced me above all was Candace Owens. Each time she spoke I was stunned by her insights and her own views helped push me further and further into the belief that violence over meekness. Though I will have to disavow some of her beliefs, the extreme actions she calls for are too much, even for my tastes."
He was inspired by American conservative Candace Owens...
Holy shit, here he is planning a mass murder and he's saying that some of what Owens has said was "too much"? So here we have a black American conservative being credited with inspiring a Australian white supremacist to murder a bunch of innocent Muslims in New Zealand.
Fuck.
Yeah I'm guessing they mean semi-automatic weapons. No idea about gun laws in NZ but I hear they aren't as strict as Europe.

Jesus fuck and I was thinking of visiting New Zealand for my next big vacation. Scary stuff.
I honestly don't want to search for videos, but are these ACTUAL automatic weapons, or is it the media form of automatic weapons?
It is possible they were automatic. Under certain specific conditions it is possible to possess automatic weapons in New Zealand, however firearms do not have to be registered in New Zealand only owners. It is much more likely they were semi-automatic which are legal in New Zealand. The stills I have seen from his video show "military-style" weapons which are restricted. This will hopefully have a similar impact as the Port Arthur massacre had on Australia and create some meaningful controls on firearms.
Can't say who she is, or what she has called for, but news has it - be VERY hesitant to believe anything from the killer.

However, many experts are arguing that Tarrant wrote that strictly for the purpose of trolling American media. For example, immediately following that quote, Tarrant goes on to allege that the video game “Spyro” taught him ethno-nationalism.
Saw the video - they are not automatic. General media bullshittery

Still visit. It is a great country and this aberration changes nothing. The gunman was Australian anyway. As if that changes anything.
People are dead and this is all this worthless fucknugget thinks about. Go step in front of a speeding train.
The media only report what they have been told by witnesses. New Zealand doesn't have the same partisan issues as the US surrounding firearms. Either way from what I have seen of the video (not much) those weapons are highly restricted and most likely illegally obtained.Saw the video - they are not automatic. General media bullshittery

Australian PM confirmed this.Are you sure about the gunmen being Australian? I know they are their next door neighbor and everything.... but what makes you certain of such an accusation of the assholes at this point?
