From newstalkzb.co.nz:
The crowd in attendance at a vigil at Auckland’s Aotea Square cheered loudly when Attorney-General David Parker said the Government would ban semi-automatic rifles.
He warned of a global rise of extremism.
“There is a dimming of enlightenment in many parts of the world,” he said.
“How can it be right for this atrocity to be filmed by the murderer using a go-pro and live-streamed across the world by social media companies?
“How can that be right? Who should be held accountable for that?”
The answer is obvious: New Zealand’s law-abiding gun owners. They’re the ones who will pay for a crazed killer’s murder spree by giving up a piece of their gun rights and their property.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern vowed she’d crack down on gun rights.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speaks following mosque mass shootings: "I can tell you one thing right now: Our gun laws will change.”
And with the Attorney General’s pronouncement, Ardern moved swiftly to make good on that promise.
Speaking to media in Wellington this morning, Ardern stressed that “now was the time for change.”
Ardern said five guns were used by the primary perpetrator, including two semi-automatic weapons, and two shotguns.
“The offender was in possession of a gun licence,” Ardern said.
American civilian disarmament activists are cheering the New Zealand government’s swift reaction.
All is proceeding just as the shooter had planned.

New Zealand deserves its fate. You people there elected these idiot sociopaths as leaders and they are going to let you be destroyed.
New Zealand’s law-abiding gun owners are the ones who will pay for a crazed killer’s murder spree by giving up a piece of their gun rights and their property?........How about the death penalty brought back for anyone who plans and commits murder....that would be a good start as you’d eliminate those people from the population.
“And wear a Muslim headscarf while you do it.”
Yes, catering and kowtowing to the satanic death cult is beyond the pale. It’s called submission
All the better to CONTROL and ENSLAVE THEM... just ask the people of Venezuela.
Note the muslim countries that slaughter Christians by guns and every other weapon imaginable, do not go and ban said weapons.
Libtards are doing this to wipe out the higher sides of the bell curve population right under their own noses.
If they ever wise up they better start taking these so-called enlightened leaders out en masse before their suicidal policies literally kill them off.
Why stop there, dumb woman! How about disarm completely all the dhimmis of guns and knives while you convert to islam
Right on schedule
I hope someone brings up the name Stephen Willeford to these idiots.
I’m getting really tired of being blamed for the actions of monsters.
So more unarmed people ready for slaughter. Consider it took 17 minutes for police to stop this latest murderer. Seventeen minutes to kill and kill with no one armed to stop it.
Every article I have read about this explicitly mentions “Right wing extremism.”
Heads up, Conservatives.
The Political Left is coming for EVERYTHING!
Actually, I’m surprised that civilians have been permitted to own firearms at all, in that Socialist Utopia of New Zealand. I figured their gun laws were even more draconian than Australia’s.
Knee-jerk totalitarian leftist strikes again. Can’t have a person be responsible. Nope. Punish law abiding citizens for a freak criminal act. I despise these people.
Typical over reaction.
The shooting victims were already disarmed. Does nothing normal go on in her head?
Gun ownership in New Zealand is categorized as “restrictive” - as civilians are not allowed to possess handguns, military-style semi-automatic weapons.. without a permit.
Well, who could have seen this coming.
On a side note, i’m not certain that all linguists would consider the language spoken in New Zealand English anymore.
A textbook case of linguistic drift. It offends my ear evem more than Canadian.
Looks like the NZ reds are back in power. Stupidity knows no boundaries.
Ray Charles could have seen this coming a mile away.
