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."

“”but my convenience doesn’t outweigh the risk of misuse.””

His weapons - who is going to misuse them? Doesn’t trust himself or anyone in his family? Dope!

Reminds me of the idiots who surrendered their guns to the police just after Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian Immigrant back in 1968.

Then they had the gall to write letters to various editors on what they did, then said they now live in “fear of their neighbors” who still had guns.

One day the Chinese are going to completely conquer that part of the world. Disarming only makes it sooner.

Garbage article. Based on internet Tweets by a leftist poofter with no other proof. Newsweak is desperate for relevancy.

Kennedy was killed by a Carcano rifle,they hold 6 rounds in an internal magazine.

That was sold by Chicago-based Milt Klein's Sporting Goods, financed with a loan from banks run by JFK's father Joseph P. Kennedy Sr, headquartered in the Chicago Merchandise Mart office building owned by Old Joe.

You think maybe someone was sending the old man a message by using a rifle obtained through that particular firm?

What a waste of money, we could pay them 75% of market value AND feed some starving children in Biafra.
