The gun ban will take immediate effect, with the government to introduce a buyback scheme inspired by Australia's 1996 policy."We are announcing action today on behalf of all New Zealanders to strengthen our gun laws and make our country a safer place."
Accessories that convert guns into military-style semi-automatics will also be banned, as well as high-capacity magazines.Ms Ardern specifically referenced Australia's gun reforms in her announcement.
Only decades behind Australia. How about the dumb women think ahead instead of after an event like this.
Well done newzealand Maybe the USA might come to some common sense too..
Unlike Australia where a serial number of a weapon is tied to a licence number held by an individual NZ has no system to find semi auto weapons only the name of a person holding a licence with no weapons ID on same …...How will this work?
About fucking time. Now America needs to follow suit.
DO NOT HAND THEM IN!!
Mission accomplished

'Not the New Zealand any of us know': NZ unites in wake of Christchurch terrorSeventeen minutes of terror has reshaped New Zealand - but more than 24 hours after the Christchurch mosque attacks its citizens are standing together.

Full statement: Jacinda Ardern says Christchurch shooter has 'no place in New Zealand'New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has addressed the media and the nation following a shooting at a mosque in Christchurch saying it marks one of the country's 'darkest days'. No surprise that an Australian man did this terrible, shameful act of violence - such a strong sub-culture of hatred - and that he streamed it on social media - this access to promoting and glorifying hatred and violence is devastating.

NZ set to ban 'military-style' semi-automatic weapons and assault riflesNew Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announces a plan to ban semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles in the wake of the terrorist attack that killed 50 people in Christchurch. OMG. Talk about aping US (media). Semi automatic means one bullet per trigger pull - no reloading. It doesnt matter what the rifle or handgun looks like or if its used by military. You can even get semi-automatic shot guns which aren’t military weapons. At least get facts right. I thought they were going to ban guns all together?
