New Zealand Bans Semi-Automatic Weapons

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

In the immediate aftermath of last Friday’s shootings at two mosques in the city of Christchurch, Ms. Ardern labelled the attack as terrorism and said New Zealand’s gun laws would change.

“On March 15, our history changed forever. Now, our laws will too. We are announcing action today on behalf of all New Zealanders to strengthen our gun laws and make our country a safer place,” Ms. Ardern told a news conference.

All semi-automatic weapons used during the terrorist attack on Friday March 15 will be banned.”

Ms. Ardern said she expected the new laws to be in place by April 11 and a buyback scheme costing up to NZ$200 million ($138 million) would be established for banned weapons.
