In the meantime, Ardern said, the government will sharply restrict access to"virtually all" such weapons by reclassifying them to require a police permit — which will be denied.March 21, 2019The government will offer generous compensation for New Zealanders to sell their weapons to the government for destruction. She said the buyback program would cost $100 million to $200 million.
Thanks for having leadership and the love that your hard work on this matter

Wow, the anti-gun propaganda sure worked easy on those cowardly simpletons. Kinda surprised those morons had freedom as long as they did. Oh well, they certainly don't deserve it now with these ignorant actions... LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
According to, 1- WWI, WWII or Iraq War style? 2- a guns function? 3- the guns looks 4- all guns not single shot loaded. 5- all of the above - just remove them all.
23 yrs after Australia norush.
We will appreciate your intelligence
I’ll make it a point not to vacation in New Zealand.
So now only the terrorist will be armed. It’s work so well for them in the past.
MeetThePress Some argument for retaining semi-auto shotguns for civilian use, but the rest seem unnecessary.
MeetThePress In the U.S., it still would be 'too soon' to discuss anything to do with guns or the weapons used.
Idiots. His plan worked. His violent criminal act will in turn punish thousands of law abiding citizens.
Hey realDonaldTrump THIS is what leadership looks like.
The ultra wealthy that have been building doomsday bunkers there will be pleased.
MeetThePress Good for you
TalbertSwan What about white supremacy?
I wonder how many people had to Google New Zealand to figure out where it is. I'm guessing most of the Democratic presidential candidates had to.
MeetThePress The NZ ban on murders hasn't worked very well. 🙄
Spoken like a true dictator.
sigh...She is making NZ ann easy peasy target for thugs and terrorists.
Wish she was our president
And how will this help? She realizes that terrorist don't care about bans, Right?
MeetThePress Well THEY FELL FOR IT! It won’t happen here! What is it about “Good Guy with GUN ends massacre by Bad Guy with GUN”....now England is banning KNIVES, after gun laws drew criminals to knives! Insanity! This is INTENTIONAL! Take Guns so population can’t defend themselves agnst Gov!
MeetThePress Totally amazing watching true leadership in action. A leader who is there for her people and not for her own gain. Can’t wait until we have that again in the United States of America.
MeetThePress And she thinks that will stop this? Good luck. Criminal can get any weapons they want. So lets disarm law abiding citizens.
Hmm ... so the bad guys are just going to hand over their guns. Let me know how that works for you.

Good action
The inanimate object gets the boot yet the cause remains... good job? 🙄
With knee jerk responses like this, why would governments not stage shootings in order to get an outcome like this? Democrats push for bans, so why wouldn't they stage shootings in hope of getting this outcome?
What is Nigeria 🇳🇬 doing about Christians being slaughtered?
TalbertSwan This is what should have happened back in 1999 when Columbine started a rash of shootings. The Good Ol' Boy network and the NRA prevented that with their convoluted logic. The fact that every other country sees that gun control works is a sad fact. The excuses don't make sense.
USA must learn something from this.
Bold. America should follow. GunControl
A gunman not a terrorist!!
so, this is what a real dictator looks like, they now wear a hijab
The same woman who is now putting on a headscarf and broadcasting the Muslims' call to prayers on loudspeakers? No thanks. We don't want to follow her appeasements....
You mean they had a problem and they just solved it? Don't they know about the 40 year 'Thoughts and Prayers' waiting period on making common sense changes?!
AKs too? Ahab wants to know.
I guess semi-automatic shotguns won't kill anybody.
Bank robbery is banned in every country...yet somehow it continues. I'm not arguing against automatic weapons control, I'm saying you are not addressing the REAL problem. Mentally ill people always find a way.
And when the next terrorist uses a car or truck to run over people we will ban all vehicles
Right on!! What a better place we would be in if all guns were banned(exception being single shot hunting rifles. I do not like hunting but I understand the need 4 some) It’s criminal the brainwashing by the NRA . OUR 2nd Amendment has been butchered.4Shame
Now, being totally honest, just how was it for a country to say enough is enough and do something! Two weeks! Maybe we should take a look in our collective mirrors...
Right, cause criminals are law abiding citizens !!
fucking gross
Say what you will about the policy, but this seems a bit... optimistic.
Unless New Zealand is a Monarchy and she's the Queen it probably won't happen. She's blowing hot air.
TRUE LEADERSHIP!!! WISH AMERICA WAS THIS WISE WE WOULD ALL BE A LOT SAFER!!!
Is someone going to tell her every weapon is semi automatic, and there is no such thing as a military-style semi-automatic.
When leadership actually does what is right for the people they represent sensible guncontrol commonsense
It’s a start to protecting the people she serves as prime minister a example to some that protect the gun companies you know politicians and some such presidents more power to New Zealand respect
I am Proud of you and Salute you PM Newzealand
Leadership, I am in love with this women!
Nobel Peace Prize for this true leader.
See how easy it is when gun manufacturers and NRA don’t own your politicians America?
👏👏👏👏
Except for her own security people of course
Leadership. Wisdom. Love.👏👏👏😉
Disarming the masses because of this guy makes no sense typical of today's leaders
She is an opportunist and serving herself to be elected in next election. That ban will not stop terrorist.
LOVE HER!!
I say it must be nice to have a government where it is not purposefully hamstrung to protect the profits of mass killing tool manufacturers.
Kudos to the kiwis.
jacindaardern is a great example of both leadership and womanhood. I love this woman and I thoroughly approve of how she is handling what is likely to be the most dangerous crisis in her political career. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🇳🇿 NewZealand 👍🏻
Come and take them.
I love watching knuckleheads thinking that they're making valid take-down talking points at New Zealand's giant pair of balls for their immediate and no bullshit response to a tool of the trade of terrorism.
God bless this wonderful woman and Prime Minister of New Zealand. EnoughIsEnough
Through the years, women from different generations and locations have proven their strength and independence. Today, women have made amazing contributions in the government, business world, the army and many more sectors.
Fascist
And, those that did the shooting at the mosques will continue to have their guns, but law abiding citizens won't have anything to protect themselves! Pfffffff
Decision was Swift and Immediate With Courage Without Fear THIS is Leadership 👏👏👏👏👏👏👈
France shows how to respond to a DISARMED citizenry.
Only if realDonaldTrump had the same moral courage after tragedies like las vegas and countless others! GunControlNow ImpeachTrump
And we can't do anything about our gun issue in America why
While Ardern characterized the policy as an immediate ban, she then clarified that it would be submitted to Parliament as legislation in April.
