#BrentonTarrant – New Zealand Introduces Bill To Ban Use Of Guns

After a recent terrorist attack in New Zealand, the government has introduced a new bill to ban the use of the type of gun used by Breton Tarrant in his terror attack. The minister of police, Stuart Nash revealed today, April 1st that if lawmakers pass the bill as expected, the new law will take effect April 12, less than a month after the March 15 attacks. The bill follows a government-imposed ban on sales of the weapons. This bill bans “military-style” semi-automatic guns and high-capacity magazines. It also bans semi-automatic shotguns that can be fitted with detachable magazines and pump-action shotguns that can hold more than five rounds. This ban does not affect the type of guns used by farmers and hunters, including semi-automatic .22-caliber or smaller guns that hold up to 10 rounds, or shotguns that hold up to five rounds. Photo Credit: Getty
