New firearms laws have been passed by Parliament which significantly reform New Zealand’s Arms Act.
“On 15 March, our country was shocked by a horrific terrorist attack. This was unprecedented in New Zealand,” says Police Deputy Commissioner Michael Clement.
“The Government acted quickly to change New Zealand’s firearms laws and Police is now responsible for implementing and enforcing these new laws.”
The main change is the prohibiting of a large number of semi-automatic firearms, parts, and large-capacity magazines.
