New Zealand bans military style weapons immediately

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speaks during an event to meet the first responder in the March 15 mosque shooting, in Christchurch, New Zealand, Wednesday, March 20, 2019. Last Updated Wednesday, March 20, 2019 10:36PM EDT

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says New Zealand is immediately banning assault rifles, high-capacity magazines and "military style semi-automatic rifles" like the weapons used in last Friday's attacks on two Christchurch mosques. Ardern announced the ban Thursday and said it would be followed by legislation to be introduced next month.

She said the man arrested in the attacks had purchased his weapons legally and enhanced their capacity by using 30-round magazines "done easily through a simple online purchase."

CTVNationalNews Hoping Canada would not allow these weapons...even the military should not have them. A scourge!

So this is what a dictator looks like in 2019🤦🏼‍♂️ Making Good People Defenceless!.. Will Not Make Bad People Harmless!

Goes to show how fucked up realDonaldTrump America is when comes to gun control!

that will stop the terrorists!

CTVNationalNews That's how you do it.

Congratulations. Now that’s a positive leader.

Damn that's sad, a moment of silence for gun enthusiasts of New Zealand 😔. Too many damn restrictions.

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

Job well done. No interference from gun makers who make large contributions to campaigns. 😏

Soooooooooo all of a sudden, after this law is made, 'Criminals' 'bad guys' 'hate terrorist' all will start following the law? I'm sorry I'm not that stupid to believe a criminal will follow a rule.

You are the best of the best. The whole world is proud of your values and leadership.

Because why do people need military assault rifles !!!

There is somthing very wrong with this logic.

Awesome! A step in the right direction! 👏

This is not going to work a damn I’ll guarantee it and ban guns is not the solution don’t worry someone will kill again to do the ritual all over again in a new Politician wall rise and the cycle will start again

Very impressed by this lady. Emotianal when need be and very rational on big issues.

Awesome

What a leader 👍👌👏

OH and this is going to make a big difference!

That's what real leader looks like! But the evils would find other ways to kill innocentes!

CTVNationalNews 🙌🏻🙌🏻

jryan19892 I wish America had leadership like this...

Fantastic.

This is what real leadership looks like.

This is how a soft woman thinks a problem is solved.

TeriFikowski Heathen

It was and is a no brainer! You can’t continue killing yourselves in large numbers and claim to be civilized!

N.Z. leader vows to 'absolutely deny' mosque gunman a platformNew Zealand's prime minister declared Tuesday she would do everything in her power to deny the accused mosque gunman a platform for elevating his white supremacist views, after the man dismissed his lawyer and opted to represent himself at his trial in the killings of 50 people. They will give notoriety to a teen who assaults people they disagree with instead because they share the same ideological beliefs There is ZERO credibility in double standards I agree. NO MORE 3 DAY 24HR coverage on ANY news stations. when world needs to know what has happened n by who maybe we should only state that it was a terrorist attack and that they were either captured or killed. no details about gunman,no pics (1/2) We'll suppress information that we don't want people to hear. Sorry.... communists & other socialists thought of it first long ago. Just look at Trudeau & his LavScam , a less dramatic example.
