Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says New Zealand is immediately banning assault rifles, high-capacity magazines and "military style semi-automatic rifles" like the weapons used in last Friday's attacks on two Christchurch mosques. Ardern announced the ban Thursday and said it would be followed by legislation to be introduced next month.

A NZ police official said yesterday that he would 'remind people that owning firearms in NZ is a privilege, not a right'......
That's a fundamental difference between owning firearms here vs there. There you truly possess them at the whim of the government- the only requirement to lose your right is the gov't proclaiming 'because we said so'. No individual law-breaking needed.
No thanks.
