Ardern said she expects the new law to be in place by April 11 and buy-back scheme will be established for banned weapons. "Now, six days after this attack, we are announcing a ban on all military style semi-automatics and assault rifles in New Zealand," Ardern said. “Related parts used to convert these guns into MSSAs are also being banned, along with all high-capacity magazines."

Big deal. Do you really think this will make a difference? Do you really think radicals will turn them in? Idiots

If Yahoo'll make their news comments site same likeTwitter then 1) we can see all lines together not just one line 2) we can see when nearing 340 characters readily to see where to adjust if we wanted it not to be compressed 3) we can delete edit& put back the comment if needed

If Cda & US head of states could be half strong, smart & compassionate like NZ PM, their gun violences will reduce substantially like, below half in Cda & below some 80+% in US, but to be able to be like the courageous NZ PM, the Can-Am heads need to have real balls.

Guardian_Elite Are there assault rifles that aren’t semiautomatic? Do they have muzzleloading assault rifles?

Idiotic 🙄

How easy was that! Too bad the Cowardly GOP cant do that.
