A gun retailer, Gun City plans to open a mega store in Christchurch has upset residents just months after a gunman killed 51 people at two mosques in the city.
The accused gunman, Australian Brenton Tarrant, bought four weapons and ammunition between December 2017 and March 2018 at Gun City in March.
Radio New Zealand said some of those living near the proposed site were upset at the prospect of the store, sprawling over 300sqm, along with warehouse, office and car park, set to open in August.
