    Welcome to socialism... "democracy"... elected autocracy... Whatever you want to call it... Where all you can do is choose who reams you.

    NZ never had a revolutionary war. So NZ was never a newly emancipated country, with a set of leaders, fresh from conflict, who saw a need and felt motivated to enshrine the public's right to own firearms for fighting a hypothetical boogaloo. We separated from the British, peacefully, over time, and essentially just took a copy of their legal system. That legal system pre-dated firearms, so firearms aren't mentioned in its foundations. Because the RTBA wasn't expressed in it as a right, firearms ownership was always just waiting to be legislated down to a privilege. Which it eventually was. Privileges can be restricted more easily, and legally, than rights can. The same as Australia, Canada, and the UK itself.

    "Why don't you refuse and rise up?"

    Because nobody wants to get shot or go to prison over this. We are bent over the barrel. Can you imagine how futile it'd be for a few Chinese dudes to tell Xi Jinping they're not going to comply with the CCP?
