New Zealand bans semi-automatics after Christchurch shooting | Sky News Australia

There will also be a ban on assault rifles, high capacity magazines, and certain modification parts.

Speaking on Thursday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said 'in short, every semi-automatic weapon used in the terrorist attack on Friday will be banned in this country'.

igguldypigguldy Sweden have just had a hand grenade amnesty Things must really have gotten out of hand over there as well

The 'shooting' was a terrorist attack by an Australian. Be factual in your reporting of this atrocious act. Stop using words that lessen both the crime and the truth. It was a terrorist attack, by an Australian white supremacist. That is the reason NZ is changing its gun laws!

Typical left punishing the majority for minority Gun control is only about government control more drugs and doctors take more lives in a week then on lone wolf

Sadly only Law abiding citisens will be effected by these laws. Like in Australia Criminals and Government have high powered weapons. Law abiding citisens are totally defenseless against both. Adolf Hitler disarmed the Jews at one point in history and look how that turned out.

Dont be fooled peoplegovernment has no power to buy back a weapon that was made legal they can only stop the sale of new ones thats it never give up your rights to a government for false security as ar15 not a military weapon shows this was planned psy op

I am surprised that no one else has a fired few off before the ban.

The Americans always use the old line of guns don’t kill people. People do. However a gun with six bullets in the hands of a crazy nut bag kills less than a gun with 400 bullets. Simple maths. There is no need for these weapons in a community environment.

Semi auto bans and censorship aren’t about safety. The Americans are right we need more guns not less. This situation shows unequivocally just how defenceless people are. That’s why people aren’t aloud to see.

Amazing stupidity Huge truck used in Nice to kill Christians by ISLAMIC TERRORIST Truck not banned. Car used in Burke St killing - Cars not banned

she will also be banning the sale of table spoons to fight the childhood obesity crisis.. regulating the length of pens & pencils so to improve literacy... (longer the pen more words misspelt).

BuyBack Now Taxpayers have to pay? Just do as SA does ExpropriateWithoutCompensation UR a Socialist in any case.

Must be a little John Howard fan, just a generation later.
