‘Our gun laws will change’ in wake of New Zealand terror attacks, says prime minister

Ms Ardern said: ‘New Zealanders will question how someone can come into being in possession of weapons of this nature.

She added: ‘There are a raft of issues on the table that I think we need to look at. We need to include modification of guns which can lead them to becoming essentially the kinds of weapons we’ve seen used in this terrorist attack.’The gunman is said to have used five weapons during the atrocities, including two semi-automatic weapons and two shotguns, which had been modified.

Tarrant lived in Dunedin, on New Zealand’s South Island, and was a member of the Bruce Rifle Club, according to local reports. The AR-15 is a semi-automatic version of the United States military M16 rifle. The minimum legal age to own a gun in New Zealand is 16, or 18 for military-style semi-automatic weapons.

That should put an end to it...

What 'white power' sign made by New Zealand shooting suspect really meansBrenton Tarrant appeared to make the sign as he appeared in court yesterday, after he was accused of killing 49 people in a mass shooting in New Zealand In his sick manifesto, the New Zealand terrorist labels himself an “eco-fascist” and calls for 'Green Nationalism.' He hates capitalism, free markets & free trade and loves the Communist Chinese govt. He also hates immigrants (the basis for his racism). I'm really not interested in what signs from Terrorists mean. Dont give them the Kudos they crave Not interested, stop giving these terrorists the attention they crave!! 😳
