New Zealand Government Changes Gun Laws

The Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, has decided to ban all semi-automatic weapons such as guns.

This has happened because of the incident in Christchurch – capital of New Zealand. It took place on the 15th March 2019, when there was a shooting at two Mosques. Fifty people died and others were severely injured.

The Prime Minister is expected to change the laws by the 11th April 2019, previous attempts have failed so she is hoping for it to happen urgently.
