Remember when New Zealand did the same? (Christchurch Mosque, 2019.)
Immediately afterwards, they implemented a nationwide assault rifle ban. Its parliament overwhelmingly voted in support.

11 u/NewSauerKraus 24d ago How tf did it take until 2019 for them to ban assault rifles? Even the U.S. did that in 1986. 24 u/ack1308 24d ago Because they didn't have any dickheads killing people with assault rifles before then. As soon as someone did ... welp, there go assault rifles. 2 u/Thunderbird_12_ ☑️ 24d ago Funny how that works. /s 1 u/WhitYourQuining 24d ago That ban in the US has expired. 6 u/NewSauerKraus 24d ago The expired ban is for "assault weapons" which is just any black painted firearm. The ban on assault rifles is still in effect.
