Following the terrible events of March 15, 2019; the New Zealand Prime Minister has announced changes to the NZ gun laws.
For those who don't already know, NZ sits at 20th in the World for guns per 100 people. The USA is at number 1, Australia 51st. But NZ does not have a lot of guns because of some second amendment right, they have them to control introduced pests that ravage NZ's native flora and fauna. Top of the list are possums and rabbits.
NZ needs its guns. But what they could look at doing is have gun dealers reporting any buyer seemingly amassing an arsenal. The Christchurch Mosque terrorist bought several guns quite legally but over a relatively short period of time, along with lots of ammunition. This should have triggered an alarm bell, but didn't.
