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.

This will easy:
“When do we invade?”
Strange there was no mention of banning Go-Pros or live streaming.
“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?”
It sounds like they are more concerned with the bad press it gives New Zealand than concern over the dead and injured.
And for that - I would say the ones to blame are the makers of Go-Pro and the online media firms.
This man is not crazy; he is an evil Communist and had travelled in North Korea.
Per Tucker Carlson’s show Friday, 15 March, here are quotes from the killer’s manifesto:
“Conservatism is corporatism in disguise. I want no part of it. The nation with the closest political values to my own is the People’s Republic of China.”
“I chose firearms for the affect it would have on social discourse and the affect it could have on politics in the United States.”
“With enough pressure, the left wing within the United States will seek to abolish the second amendment and the right wing within the U.S. will see this as an attack on their very freedom and liberty. This will result in a dramatic polarization of people in the United States and eventually a fracturing of the U.S. along cultural and racial lines.”

Microchip all knives to track them real time as well...
Well that will solve it fer sure.
I would say that he has been well played by a deep state operation. Except that based on previous comments that I have read from Kim.com about the NZ government....then I would guess that this guy was part of plan. NZ is a major player.
Well slap me down and call me shorty, none of us saw that coming /s. Did they have the legislation “ready to go”. You know “just in case”
Don’t ban guns. Ban social media.
Make Facebook, YouTube, et al, responsible for the legality of the content posted.
IP theft = fine.
Obscenity = fine.
Intentional or willful disregard of the law = felony = someone going to jail.
Will this increase the burden and expense on Facebook, Google, etc.? Yes, but they can afford it. Or it is not worth having.
Facebook and YouTube are not specific Constitutional rights. There is no reason content cannot be vetted other than convenience and to lower the costs of operation. But someone has to do it.

Thank you, teacher. [/sarc]
The guy was an obvious shit poster at the very least. His objective was political disruption.
Moonbat lefty chick

There are 100s of moonbats or near moonbats
Must be hormones

Never. let a false flag, calculated crisis go to waste. The classic statist response to a crisis is to grab more control away from the people. This one is as staged as it gets.
She’s got her head covered IN HER OWN OFFICE?!!!! Her country’s office?!!!
So much for “strong women.” It’s not just men who have submitted...
Never mind, I misread that, it’s at a refugee center.
Still inappropriate as she is a head of state and a refugee center is not a place of worship.
I think they have elections coming up.
Why wasn’t that Mosque made into a gun free zones years ago and the problem would have been avoided? Right?
Recall NZ played a big role in John Kerry’s foiled pro-Palestinian UN resolution in December 2016 when he made his weird Antarctic trip as cover for his effort to shaft Netanyahu and save the Iran Deal...
