MPs vote 119 to 1 in favour of the new gun law just 26 days after 50 people were killed in attacks on two mosques in Christchurch.

The owner of Gun City has said his store sold weapons to the alleged gunman"We in this house are their voice. Today we can use that voice wisely."

"We are here as an almost entirely united parliament. There have been very few occasions when I have seen parliament come together in this way and I cannot imagine circumstances where that is more necessary than it is now."She said there was some opposition to the legislation from firearms owners, but the response broadly had been positive.

"If you believe, like us, that they do not, you should be able to believe we can move swiftly. An argument about process is an argument to do nothing." "They will carry disabilities for a lifetime, and that's before you consider the psychological impact. We are here for them."
