The New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, Monday, in a press conference that the country would review gun laws after Christchurch terror attacks that killed 50 Muslims and injured many others.
Ardern said the government would «announce detailed gun laws reforms within days», reports BBC. «This ultimately means that within 10 days of this horrific act of terrorism we will have announced reforms which will, I believe, make our community safer», the Prime Minister said.
For the record, Australian terrorist Brenton Tarrant, a self-described white supremacist, opened fire, Friday, on Muslim worshippers at two mosques in the city of Christchurch. He used «military-style assault weapons modified to make them more deadly for the attack», the same source wrote.
According to BBC, the terrorist had a gun license he obtained in November, 2017. A gun retailer in New Zealand said that he sold four weapons to Tarrant four days before the attack. However, the man stressed that he did not sell him the weapons he used in the attacks.
In New Zealand, gun laws allow citizens to purchase A-category weapons, semi-automatic that can have only seven shots. However, the graphic video posted by the terrorist shows that the terrorist’s gun had a «larger magazine round», the same source concluded.
