"The volume of guns owned isn't important at all. It's important instead to have freedom to buy guns I want to own with features that please me."

See, you want to have the freedom to buy whichever guns you want. I want the freedom to not have to live with people like you. "Features that please you" is a matter of novelty. Not being surrounded by nutters with guns is a matter of personal safety. I find the latter more important. Stay in NJ.

How am I a "nutter with guns"? What makes me a nutter? I find that fairly rude to be honest.

I wouldn't call you a "nutter", but when you call NZ's gun rules "nonsensical", I feel many New Zealanders would find it rather rude, too.

If you read my post that I link you will see my exact issues with the laws.

Nonsensical roughly means "having no meaning; making no sense." (from google's `define nonsensical` query)

The laws fit those criteria for me. They have no meaning in a safety context and they don't really make sense.

I would love to hear your opinions on my other post (linked in the comment you replied to).
