Brenton Tarrant posts on 8chan, shoots up Mosque killing 49 muslims in New Zealand, livestreams from GoPro

He also missed some very obvious things from a body count perspective, like having some sort of incendiary device to start a fire as he left.

I honestly thought the Gas Cans were for that but he didn't use them.

Anybody here have a rough knowledge of New Zealand firearm laws? I'm curious just how legal the weaponry he had was, and how easily (or not) it could have been procured.

His AR had a thumbhole stock meaning it was, (im trying to remember off the top of my head) a D-Cat which is generally the highest level gun license that's accessible in New Zealand since the one for 'Assault Weapons' is the E-Cat which is way too difficult for most people.

I heard from MercMint the guy who his being cucked by Aydin paladin but is a gun expert that most of the stuff on his gun is banned by international weapons trafficking and he isn't sure how he got that gear

He identified as an Eco-Fascist.

There is no proof he is dead in the OP. I felt it was jumping the gun there and feel like I'm being proved right.

@Null should really remove that from the OP since so many people are coming here for info on the shooting that the site keeps going down

This is what terminal irony poisoning looks like. I just hope this is an eye-opener for some of those “ironic” /pol/ shitposters.

i am interested to know this as well, does NZ have compliance laws for semi-auto rifles like california, massachusetts, etc have in the US? the picture of the rifle looks a lot like a CA-compliant AR:

Yes, Semi-Autos can't have a pistol grip on a D-Cat which is the generally available license for semi-auto long guns, to have a pistol grip requires a E-Cat which is way harder to get.

 

[Sammy]

A lot of the stuff he had was legal, just a bitch and a half to acquire down there.

Can you elaborate? I'm mostly interested because of an off site discussion with a friend. Hearing about this they took a "BETTER REGULATION NOW" stance, and I don't know enough about New Zealand gun law to understand exactly how restrictive it already is or isn't.

That really activates my almonds. Somebody was saying earlier they thought this could be an army guy playing a character. Maybe this is a setup

 

[GrungyLawnChlorinate]

This will be forgotten next week.

Not in the US it won't. This is going to dominate for at least the next 2 years, and probably several after that. This is potent anti-right propaganda material here. David Brock and the muppet media outlets are creaming his skivvies over this. By morning Trump will be implicated somehow, guaranteed.

holy shit even the fucking Eco Fash movement is on his manifesto. This guy is definitely a plant (no pun intended) of some hook-nosed tribe

This isn't a set up. He made too many fuck ups to be military.

No, he's just an idiot. No enviromentalist would state their views in ideology is closest to that of the People's Republic of China.

If 8chan was hemorrhaging money before, could this fuck the site up beyond repair? 8chan has had some PR shitshows before, but this might actually be the final straw.

Someone apparently called the police on Kiwi Farms.

 

[Spooky]

Lol no. He made tons of mistakes.

He was a good shot, I'll give him that, but that's all range experience. His mag discipline was awful - getting tackled shouldn't throw your ammo all over the hall. He wasn't checking his corners, wasn't counting his shots, fumbled with his mags; wasn't used to reloading with actual adrenaline pumping, definitely was never taught how to clear a room, just how to run a course at a range. Again, if someone had sacked up with 7:03, he'd probably have been done. That's something that happens to you when you're used to running through a course dumping rounds into static dummies, but the short of shit that gets you yelled at by the range instructor if you do it during actual MOUT.

He definitely spent some time at the range, though not missing with an AR-15 at < 50 feet doesn't take a lot of skill.
The bit that got me going "Jesus...fuck." was the fact he left, took a minute, then came back in to see if anyone was playing dead. And that's definitely not something they teach in any military course.

He was also obviously out of shape, breathing hard as he jogged to his car.

He also missed some very obvious things from a body count perspective, like having some sort of incendiary device to start a fire as he left.

He gunned down like 30 civilians in close quarters. Of course he is gonna be breathing heavy. The adrenaline dump from that would make anyone shaky, jumpy and completely throttled up. I did find it strange how he went back in though especially since he could have gotten in his car and proceeded to his next target as he did after. I thought he was gonna light the place on fire with the gasoline he brought at first, but I think he was just jumpy and decided to make sure he killed everyone instead of moving on.

 

[SuperDeeDuper]

He seems a lot more like those antifags who claim there is no such thing as civility with dealing with nazis and want to go right to the revolution and guillotining people, except he can actually kill.

okay, but it doesn't change the fact that it's completely counter-productive. we are in a political climate where an act of violence like this by a leftist gets downplayed and swept under the rug. look at the congressional baseball shooter, when was the last time you heard about that guy? how often does the media report on leftists attacking right-wingers?

even before trump, literal rioting by BLM and antifa would lead to articles like this:
time - in defense of rioting
new inquiry - in defense of looting
Jacobin - in defense of the ferguson riots

the reality of the situation is that when right-wingers do violence, it is endlessly reported on as the literal end of the world and the scariest thing ever. when left-wingers do violence, the media either pretends it didn't happen or goes full-bore and openly defends it.

Of course verified twitter is doing exactly what the shooter wanted without any semblance of the consequences of their actions and blocking anyone that reveals how much of a fucking exceptional individual they are, then scrubbing the evidence of their stupidity.

Spoiler: stupidity

As if the christchurch police don't have better things to do right now.

 

[Queen Of The Harpies]

As a true and honest kiwi ( ie NZer) you need to have a licence for guns that's all. Given that guns aren't a huge problem here or very common, it's pretty lax. Hunting and fishing stores carry big fuck off hunting rifles and knives, plus we have a store called gun city. People out in the wops can get hold of military grade shit and because we're so small we don't have checks like in the states. I knew a guy who had a fucking flame thrower and used it on his property like nothing.
