Thread: Greetings from the USA

First, my sympathies to the people, and especially the gun owners of New Zealand. I can't imagine what you are going through.

Second, I have a very hard time understanding the difference in thinking between gun owners in the USA and NZ. That is one of the reasons I joined your forum. As I'm sure you know, a large percentage of gun owners in the USA would never tolerate what your government has done, and is continuing to do, to you. I'm hoping to understand why gun owners from NZ are willing to allow their government to subjugate them in the way they have already done, and are continuing to do.

Mostly, I intend to just read, but I may have a few questions from time to time. I'm certainly willing to answer questions if I can.

Thank you for allowing me to do this.
