New Zealand to announce new gun laws after mosque shooting eNCA
An advertisement for the Gun City store that has reportedly upset locals is seen on the outskirts of Christchurch on March 18, 2019.
Gun City owner David Tipple said the alleged gunman legally bought four weapons and ammunition online from the store between December 2017 and March 2018, but it did not sell him the high-powered weapon used in the massacre. Ardern did not detail the new gun laws, but has said she supports a ban on automatic weapons following the Christchurch shootings.Australia introduced some of the world's toughest gun laws after its worst mass killing, the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in which a lone gunman killed 35 people using a semi-automatic AR-15 - the same weapon used in the Christchurch massacre.
"Until today I was one of the New Zealanders who owned a semi-automatic rifle. On the farm, they are a useful tool in some circumstances, but my convenience doesn’t outweigh the risk of misuse. We don’t need these in our country. We have make sure it’s #NeverAgain."
