New Zealanders are rushing to buy up firearms in wake of Prime Minister Jacinta Ardern announcing the country will soon be subject to stricter gun laws.
The PM was the first to sign a national condolences book opened in Wellington on Monday afternoon for those killed in the Christchurch mosque attacks.
The New Zealand gun lobby has strongly opposed further regulations in the past, but it is believed Friday’s attack will sway public perceptions about high-powered weapons.
