After 49 killed in mass shootings at 2 New Zealand mosques, prime minister vows, '''our gun laws will change''' - ABC News
Prime Minister of New Zealand says, "I can tell you one thing right now, our gun laws will change."
New Zealand has extremely lax gun laws, like here.

What does Trump say after our almost daily gun slaughters?
LOL… Can you gun haters remember a consistent story, or are you just hoping to skate on shameless flip-flopping hypocrisy? For years this forum's gun control lobby has used Australia, New Zealand, Europe, etc. as examples of why their strict gun control laws, in New Zealand for example, produced crime rates are much lower than the US.
Then when current events make a mockery of that "conventional wisdom", some embarrassing drone will claim that New Zealand has little gun control, "just like here" (here presumably being the US).
FYI New Zealand already has significantly stricter gun control laws than the US. So much so its nearly impossible for the average to own and keep a handgun.
Among the notable differences:
-You have to purchase an arms license (which requires a photo ID) and it must be renewed on a periodic basis.
-An arms officer visits your home and makes sure you have a secure place to house the guns and ammo in locked and separate locations.
-All people in the household have to be interviewed to insure they approve of storage of guns.
-To purchase pistols you have to belong to an authorized pistol club, you must shoot with the club 12 times in six months, and take part in their activity. You don't own the gun, and it is held by the club armorer.
-After six months the club may recommend to police you have a "B" endorsement, which requires more references, interviews with family and background checks.
-Then you may be allowed to own a pistol kept in a gun safe at home. Each "B" endorsement requires $200.00.
-Then you can purchase it, getting more approvals from the gun club and the police.
-You may only transport a pistol to a gun range or gunsmith.
-You have to shoot 12 times every year to maintain your pistol license.
-You may own a military style assault rifle but requires a good reason acceptable to the police, and proof of why a sporting or other rifle would not suffice.
-Semi-automatics (centerfire) of any type are limited to 7 rounds.
So please, don't tell us that New Zealand is just like here. THAT is a SHAMELESS lie, either by you or from the lie generating media.
There does not seem to be a bottom to anti-gun partisan hypocrisy on this issue.
