Many New Zealand gun owners have voluntarily surrendered their semi-automatic rifles to police following Friday's terror attack at two mosques in Christchurch, Newsweek reported.
Some have taken to social media to encourage others to follow their move.
"Until today, I was one of the New Zealanders who owned a semi-automatic rifle," farmer John Hart tweeted. "On the farm they are a useful tool in some circumstances, but my convenience doesn't outweigh the risk of misuse.
"We don't need these in our country. We have [to] make sure it's #NeverAgain."

Most certainly is fake news.
I agree. There are plenty of bugout homes there. I think Rush Limbaugh has a place there.
You wrote the same thoughts I had when watching the video. Here is my reaction:
“From the video, he was at the mosque for a long time. I wonder why no one got on a cell phone and notified the police. I also showed him shooting people from inside the car (with no front windshield) with what appeared to be a shot gun. Usually people would be calling police if they heard gun shots or saw him shooting from his car. And, the reality of the entire massacre is there was no good guy with a gun. One shot would have ended it. So much for creating a nation without guns. I would be a furious New Zealander after seeing how pathetic people were defenseless.”
“Many New Zealand gun owners...”
How many is “many”?
Wow. Slaves.
As the world gets crazier by the day.. Common Sense Prevails on Freerepublic.com. Thank you FReepers!! You never fail to restore my faith in human beings!!
Surrendering your weapons to the authorities is like surrendering your weapons to the Jihadis.
As they go to the slaughter house. History repeating itself. Just different locations.
Agreed
Well, they can add four million human Kiwis to the 90 million or so sheep count in the country. Wonderful place and the only country which I (formerly) could seriously emigrating to. No more.

VIRTUE SIGNALLING
I am perfectly fine with the farmer’s choice. Those who lack the confidence to control their firearms and themselves—and aren’t prepared to defend their own lives in an emergency—make poor gun owners. Make great sheep though.
AND NO SHARP EDGES.
Yes! That’s another thing I was wondering, in this day and age of cellphones, where were the cops?? He shoots up the Mosque then casually walks out, no cops anywhere. They he sees that guy running up to the street, shoots him, no cops anywhere. Then he goes speeding through the street driving like a maniac, shooting from the car, then he’s off speeding again, no cops anywhere. But HEY! It’s TRUMPS FAULT!!!
Speaking of which, did you hear the latest? Now Trump is responsible for Mafia hits!.....
It’s STUPIDITY.
I bet the Fake News Netwrecks will saturate the news about Trump’s links to the mob 24-7. Another fallacious association that Americans with common sense know is fake.
Sheep outnumber people in NZ.
