Only a week after attacks on two mosques in New Zealand killed 50 worshippers, the country has banned sales of 'military-style' semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, front, leaves Friday prayers at Hagley Park in Christchurch, New Zealand, Friday, March 22, 2019. People across New Zealand are observing the Muslim call to prayer as the nation reflects on the moment one week ago when 50 people were slaughtered at two mosques.

Ardern said a sales ban was effective immediately to prevent stockpiling and would be followed by a complete ban on the weapons after new laws are rushed through. Many different types of firearms, from pistols to rifles and shotguns, can be semi-automatic. Semi-automatic refers to a firearm's ability to self-load, not only firing a bullet with each trigger pull, but also reloading and making the firearm capable of firing again.The ban does not include semi-automatic .22 calibre or smaller guns that hold up to 10 rounds or semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns with non-detachable magazines that hold up to five rounds.

New Zealand police said on their website that the "transitional period" would allow people to arrange to hand over their unlawful firearms to police without penalties. It encouraged people to fill out an online form and said after that police would be in touch to make arrangements. Sydney University gun policy expert Philip Alpers estimated that only 6 per cent of all weapons in New Zealand were registered.

So, NZ is making laws similar to Canada then..why didn’t they have them before? However,whether your terrorist is an Islamic Extremist or White Supremacist, they will still find a bomb or truck,as we see Islamic Terrorists do in Europe, or an illegal gun as this White Supremacist

They are not only banning guns; they are also banning jordanbpeterson’s book. What’s next? NewZealandTerroristAttack

The remarkable thing here is that the gun industry and the public fully support this.

A very progressive country. I’d like to live there. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country of Canada but, we’ve got a lot of work to do. NewZealandStrong

The terrorist won. New Zealand just bowed down to him.

Or their conversion to Islam.
