New gun laws will make New Zealand safer after mosque massacre, says Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern via char_greenfield TSWestbrook
Ardern encouraged gun owners who were thinking of surrendering their weapons to do so.
John Hart, a farmer and Green Party candidate from Masterton said on Twitter on Monday that he had surrendered his semi-automatic rifle. Only firearm owners are licensed, not weapons, so there is no monitoring of how many weapons a person may possess.Before Friday, New Zealand’s worst mass shooting was in 1990 when a man killed 13 men, women and children in a 24-hour rampage in the seaside village of Aramoana. He was killed by police.
The burial process, which usually involves washing with three kinds of water, salving wounds and scrubbing skin, would be complicated, volunteers in Christchurch said.
