New Zealand bans military type semi-automatic weapons used in mosque massacre by TSWestbrook char_greenfield

CHRISTCHURCH - New Zealand will ban military-style semi-automatic and assault rifles under tough new gun laws following the killing of 50 people in the country’s worst mass shooting, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Thursday.

Under existing New Zealand gun laws, a standard A-category gun license allows semi-automatics limited to seven shots. Live-streamed video of a gunman in one of the mosques showed a semi-automatic weapon modified with a large magazine. “I strongly believe that the vast majority of legitimate gun owners in New Zealand will understand that these moves are in the national interest, and will take these changes in their stride.”New Zealand, a country of less than 5 million people, has an estimated 1.2-1.5 million firearms, around 13,500 of them MSSA type weapons.

“This will not be popular among some of our members but...we believe this is the only practicable solution,” Federated Farmers Rural Security spokesman Miles Anderson said in a statement. “I have a military style weapon. But to be fair, I don’t really use it, I don’t really need it,” said Noel Womersley, who slaughters cattle for small farmers around Christchurch.Ardern said a further tranche of reforms will cover the firearm registry and licensing.Mohammed Faqih, a member of the Islamic clergy who flew in from California and attended the funerals for some victims on Thursday, said he was “extremely grateful” for the gun ban.

Ardern will attend the Muslim call to prayer and a two-minute silence at Hagley Park opposite the Al Noor Mosque. The call to prayer will telecast nationally.

TSWestbrook char_greenfield Why can't that be done here in the USA? Seems appropriate to me!🤔

TSWestbrook char_greenfield Ban all New Zealanders from New Zealand and let migrants stay and enjoy.

TSWestbrook char_greenfield We should be so lucky to have a leader not afraid to address problems then a government that can act so quickly. Their citizens are not as vicious, mean, disrespectful and aggressive as US citizens. Big difference. They work together, care for one another. Here they're nasty.

TSWestbrook char_greenfield Good for New Zealand. Now Australia should not have let him take his guns back to NZ. And there needs to be a clearinghouse where your name & gun type & each time to purchase ammo is recorded to monitor.

TSWestbrook char_greenfield Meanwhile, in the US . . . last weekend, a murder-suicide resulted in the deaths of two adults and three children.

TSWestbrook char_greenfield So where are all the NRA guys who told me I was wrong.
