New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Thursday all assault weapons and "military-style automatic weapons" would be banned in the wake of last week's mosque shootings in Christchurch that left 50 people dead. Ardern said she expects the new law to be in place by April 11 and buy-back programs will be put in place for banned weapons.
Ardern said the shooting suspect had purchased his weapons legally and a "simple online purchase" of 30-round magazines had enhanced their capacity. Ardern said all semi-automatic used during the attack would be banned.
"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," Ardern said.

Soros getting his way .
I'd rather be a citizen than a subject.
Ok, so the next attack if one of these is used, are the victims gonna scream? You can't use that they are outlawed. So the perp will say, gee I didn't know that, thanks for the tip. Dumba$$es
Yeah, carried by six rather than be judged by 12.
Come and take em! Civil War is coming!
If they can do that, they can make ALL guns illegal. Only one step away from disarming all NZ citizens for the sins of one nut case. Sound familiar?
And I'm guessing she expects the criminals will also turn in their weapons and the illegally obtained weapons will be turned in, voluntarily. WTH?? I guess you really can't fix this kind of stupid.
Coming to a town near you!
They don't have a Second Amendment equivalent in their constitution!
Pay attention to this - if the looney, liberal left, dumbocrats get their way, we won't have a Second Amendment any more either! They are already trying to chip away at it a little bit at a time!
hilarious!
not banning .22 or shotguns (good).
the article said the shooter bought magazines online.
those same .22 rifles can be outfitted with 50 round mags, and can be purchased... ONLINE ALSO!
duh
How is that british knife crime working out ?
Pre Thought crime is already in England look it up on youYouT under UK police pre crime.
Time for a CIVIL WAR in NZ.
I told you all this was coming but you all don't give a damn for some reason until after you can't fix it, or even stop it, why is that???? Why are you so stupid you can't see it is happening here and will continue if you don't stop???? Why do you all think it will never happen to you when it does and will and history repeats itself all of the time??? Why are you so stupid you think with emotion versus facts and a rationale mind????
You all should know the only one true reason for gun control is so we can't stop the govt from becoming dictators or for them to never leave office, and that is it... All you have to do is take your stupid ass and look at what the now dictator of china did... Was president, and then declared he was a dictator and everyone just gobbled it all up...
You people are cowards, plain and simple... You deserve all of this crap you are getting becasue you love it so much you won't stop it... SO why do you complain about it if you love it so much????
I'm suprised they didn't try thoughts & prayers first.
Is obviously the internet’s fault
So what's your solution o smart one ?
Guns don't kill people.
Stupidity does!
Stupid !!!! Only hurts the GOOD people
Criminals could care less what the laws are & will Still GET
their Guns like it or not !!!!! FACT
Now what will the GOOD people have to defend their self ??
DUGH !!!
