The New Zealand leader's promise of tightened gun laws in the wake of the Christchurch mosque shootings has been widely welcomed by a stunned population.

Prime Minister Jacinta Ardern said her Cabinet will consider the details of the changes on Monday. She has said options include a ban on private ownership of semi-automatic rifles that were used with devastating effect in Christchurch and a government-funded buyback of newly outlawed guns.

Elliot Dawson, who survived the shooting at Christchurch's Linwood mosque by hiding in a bathroom, hopes New Zealand follows Australia's lead on gun control. "Personally, I don't think guns should be legal at all. Maybe in some extreme self-defence, but I don't think they need such firearms like that," Dawson said. "New Zealand is not America. America is a totally different situation. I think in America it would be probably more dangerous to take people's guns away. But here, I don't think we need them at all."

Only fools, easily manipulated think this way. Gun reform? At least have the courage to call it what it is, confiscation.

Fantastic! Other countries should learn from this!

Just remember next time the violence could be against Christians. Gun laws don’t need to change

I think they're banned in France and most European countries where there's no terrorism.

Banning guns doesn't solve a problem open carry does ....fuckingstupid betterscreening leftistmorons

They sent need it. 30 yrs since a mass shooting. 46 murders was their highest ever in one yr. Over 1.3 millions guns. They dont have a gun problem. This is just a liberal play as usual especially with a female PM.

She crazy imo

That will not help, a psychotic will find a gun, while a normal person who feels fear will buy a gun, now which one do you think will use it for illicit purposes?

Guns don't kill people, people kill people!

When you don't know what to do, blame guns.

While at it ban violence in society! Start with gun violence shown on video games, TV, movie shows, boxing, hockey etc.!

Wow, way to use this incident to limit the rights of your citizens. All you have to do is look at 🇨🇦, we changed our laws after Montreal Massacre & now law-abiding owners are demonized. Criminals & terrorists don’t care about laws, that is why they are criminals

Guess now no point in even thinking of going to NZ to hunt old deer, etc.

Dear liberals, Let’s not forget that Hitler was a SOCIALIST who silenced other people’s viewpoints & took away their weapons. And if he were alive today, he’d probably be like one of you with a ridiculous man bun screaming for gun control while calling other people “Hitler.”

Bullsh!t. More lies from the phoney news. I hear they are also encouraging others to drink floride and get vaxxed.

Sacrifice, misdirection, and mission accomplished.... slippery slope, protection of one-self and family is illegal. Think Khazarian SS WWII. Who speaks for U? Find another weapon 4 protection today. Think walking stick...

How did he not live there yet he had a gun permit?

Good for the citizens of New Zealand. 👏👏👏👏

Interesting. Considering there could have been more casualties if 2 of the People in the 2nd mosque hadn’t had guns.

Won’t make any difference at all!

NZ another caliphate in progress... Chameleon politician...

lol

Lots of Lambs in NZ. Machino

Ridiculous.

How do you stop drunk driving....take all the sober drivers off the road. Same concept.

Gun grabbers never let a good tragedy go without exploiting it. Gun bans accomplish nothing. In fact, violence has been seen to increase. How hard is it to look at facts instead of playing to emotion?

New Zealand police respond to shooting in Christchurch, some casualties reportedMedia said shots were fired near a mosque, although law enforcement did not immediately comment on the location or casualties shooting at Linwood mosque. 'Some' casualties? So just a negligible number of deaths then? Interesting choice of language and likely chosen because the casualties are Muslim and therefore not a big deal to your readers.
