CHRISTCHURCH: New Zealand said it will ban the military-style semi-automatic and assault rifles under tough new gun laws.

The decision to this effect was made following the killing of 50 people in New Zealand’s worst mass shooting, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.

Prime Minister Ardern has termed the attack as terrorism. She said New Zealand’s gun laws would change.

She said that on 15 March the country’s history changed forever and said the country’s law will too. (Agencies)
