Assault rifles and military-style semi-automatics have been banned in New Zealand after Jacinda Ardern, the prime minister, announced sweeping and immediate changes to gun laws following the Christchurch mosque shootings.
“I absolutely believe there will be a common view amongst New Zealanders, those who use guns for legitimate purposes, and those who have never touched one, that the time for the mass and easy availability of these weapons must end. And today they will,” said Ardern.
Parts that are used to convert guns into military-style semi-automatics (MSSAs) have also being banned, along with high-capacity magazines and parts that cause a firearm to generate semi-automatic, automatic or close-to-automatic gunfire.
“In short, every semi-automatic weapon used in the terrorist attack on Friday will be banned in this country,” said Ardern.
[...]
A second series of reforms will be presented to cabinet on Monday, including issues such as licensing, registration and storage.
Ardern said the immediate changes were intended to take out of circulation the guns that were “most critical to be addressed urgently”.
“There are a range of other amendments that we believe do need to be made and that will be the second tranche of reforms, yet to come.”
Given the urgency of the legislation, Ardern said there would be a shortened select-committee process for the legislation and that she expected the amendments to the Arms Act to be passed within the next session of parliament on Monday.

Also, as far as I'm concerned, if you murder people, you have lost any right to be heard in a civilised society, whatever issue it was that led you to murder people.
This is how you defeat the idiots. With actual facts. Dismantle the nonsense, point by point, proving exactly where it's wrong.
And, assuming Lauren is even right, which she clearly is not, I am not worried. I welcome multiculture, and I'm fully prepared to as a big fat old white male to become a minority in the not too distant future. I'm not worried. I'll probably be dead before any of her apocalyptic scenarios happen anyway, but before that happens, I want to integrate as much as possible with all sorts of weird strange cultures because I will learn so much from it.
And yes, whatever opinion you may hold, you lose when you start shooting people. You've lost the moral high ground. Any argument you were trying to make, by using violence, you've lost.

The fallacy of White Genocide and The Great Replacement explained simply.
Say there's a town with 10 X's.
X X X X X X X X X X
One day, 4 O's decide to show up.
X X X X X X X X X X
O O O O
Has the towns population grown by 40%?
NO! THE X POPULATION OF THE TOWN HAS SHRUNK BY 30%! WHERE ONCE IT WAS 100% X, NOW IT'S JUST 70%! THE O'S ARE REPLACING THE X'S!
...and that's why the whole notion is dumb.

Though the other half of the fear of the great replacement is that eventually the X's and O's will interbreed, creating a third group that eventually replaces the previous two, resulting in the death of their distinct cultures.
The end result of that is Spain, the end result of the commingling of Potato and Tomato Europe. Splash a little more of a mix in there, some Z's, maybe some Q's, and you end up with the net result of all the peoples of the world: Polynesians.
...who kinda look like Mexicans, but taller.

And prettier! Have you seen Halle Berry?
Cheap joke, sorry.
I'm all for interbreeding. Mix black with whites? Sure. From a social perspective, I believe it's more or less inevitable over time, unless people become more isolationist due to racism or other stupid nonsense. From a DNA perspective, the greater the range of genes you have to play with, the better, stronger, smarter people you evolve. Nothing breeds stupid like inbreeding.

NPR had an interesting program on You Tube algorithms virtually working as de facto indoctrination for nuts like the NZ killer. Each video links to others of it's ilk and if your penchant is for more ranting hate then each video you watch will get you worse and worse until you are into full on white nationalism or jihad or whatever brand of nutso you are attracted to. It's true that was never the aim of You Tube but you can't deny that it can be a sort of self radicalization.
This was the exact point of a completely different story on BBC today, about a self-harming girl who watched more and more linked videos until she killed herself. Unrelated to this topic, but, supports what you're saying about algorithms suggesting more and more content of what you're already looking for. Sometimes it seems to spin out of control. Now there are cries here to limit and/or change that, possibly legally, but I suspect it'll die down after a few months and nothing will happen as usual, unless there will be some other tragic event to trigger this conversation back to life.

Alicia Keys is hotter. Or at least she was back in the day.

Yeah. When every point on the globe is but a two day trip away, intermingling is nigh on destined to happen. Unless the whole world turns to extreme xenophobia, and we forego all the technological and communication advances we've enjoyed over the last hundred odd years (which is pretty unlikely to happen), there's not a goddamn thing anyone can do about.
And it's really not a thing to be all that concerned about. It's the way the world has always worked. It's the way the world will continue to work. I know it's become something of a trend to believe that Group A has always stuck with Group A, and Group B with their own as well, but all you have to do is look at the Mediterranean, the cradle of humanity, to disprove that idiotic theory. People have been fucking, fighting, and commingling since before antiquity. Only the far flung people stuck to themselves, and now they're no longer so far flung.

I can make it much simpler than that. I currently live in Britain. the home of the one true white race, no? No.
Britain is a mish-mash of various tribes, people, invasions, cultures. Before the romans invaded, there was a people we now refer to as celts or picts, depending on your position, unclear where they came from, but largely believed they travelled across Europe. Then there was the anglo-saxons, which was not one people, but various germanic tribes. Then there were the vikings, mainly Danish and Norwegian. Some of these also went to northern France and became Normans, who also later invaded Britain. Then some more vikings. Roll with the times, whenever Britain needed something it could not do itself, foreigners were called in. Guess what? Every time immigrants came, they added to the strength of the country. We still need immigrants to run our NHS hospitals, because we can not produce enough doctors or nurses. Where are they gonna come from now post-Brexit? Africa and Asia again? How will we treat them now? As shitty as the Windrush generation? We should be ashamed, not "proud to be white". Fucking retards.

Whilst I agree 100% that she was hot as back in the day. Jessica Alba was no.1.
