PM promises gun reforms after NewZealandShooting
Christchurch, New Zealand - New Zealand's coalition government plans to announce gun law changes within the next week in response to Friday's deadly shooting rampage at two mosques in Christchurch, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Monday.
The cabinet is dominated by the centre-left Labour Party but includes four members of the right-wing New Zealand First party. It is supported by the progressive Green Party, which attended Monday's meeting. The attacks have sent shock waves through this country of 4.5 million people at the bottom of the South Pacific.
His court-appointed lawyer, Richard Peters, said Tarrant has fired him. He said Tarrant plans to represent himself in court. In response to criticism that he has implicitly encouraged white nationalism, Trump tweeted Monday: "The Fake News Media is working overtime to blame me for the horrible attack in New Zealand. They will have to work very hard to prove that one. So Ridiculous!"
Facebook and other social media companies "have to step up" and do more to fight hate speech, the prime minister said. Tarrant had been living sporadically in Dunedin, at the south of New Zealand's South Island, since the end of 2017 and had practiced at a gun club there. The club closed Monday, and the vice president said it might never open again.
