Hillary Clinton praises New Zealand's new proposed gun laws, including an assault rifle ban, in wake of mosque shooting massacre.
New Zealand's prime minister announced that assault rifles, such as the ones used last Friday in the, will be banned from the country once approved by the parliament.
Ardern said sellers should halt the sales of the banned weapons immediately and warned shops to return their stockpiles to suppliers. She said they didn't have an estimate for the number of assault rifles or military-style semi-automatic weapons currently in the country. Ardern said Cabinet ministers made an in-principle decision to tighten gun ownership laws in a meeting immediately after the horrific shooting, which left 50 dead. The massacre marked the deadliest shooting in New Zealand history.
