Six months ago, New Zealand was rocked by a devastating terrorist attack - a massacre at two mosques in Christchurch which claimed the lives of 51 people. The government moved quickly to overhaul the country's gun laws and as part of a nationwide buyback scheme, New Zealanders have until December 20 to hand over their weapons. While the reforms have won widespread support, they've also sparked anger among some licensed gun owners, such as hunters and farmers. Our correspondents report.

making most guns illegal because criminals follow the laws
75-90% of school shooters bought their guns legally
@@88Expert That doesn't happen in New Zealand
@@QuickStessibut it happens in the US
@@88Expert Doesn't mean it happens in NZ. Why bring up a problem with the US when talking about NZ gun crime?
I almost wanted to live there.
This is placing trust upon the protection of your government. No thanks. Guns are essential for survival if things go South. I’m no survival prepper; but I’m no dummy either. Most of these people will regret they sold out for money. Money is not edible.
Guns arent edible either
Caleb Szyszkiewicz Have you ever chased down a deer and killed it with your bare hands... 🦌
They didn't sell out for money. They sold out because it is now illegal to own those weapons.
You do realize that we can still own guns here right? We just aren't allowed to own military style semi automatic weapons. So we can still go hunting with GUNS. Just want to make sure you are absolutely clear on that. All they have done is stop more lunatics from shooting up mosques and other places of worship and massacres in general. But we can still go hunting with GUNS. Are we clear on that?
Legal justifications for owning a gun in New Zealand? Hunting and sport. New Zealanders who have seen or heard of a wild boar, possum or stag that requires a semi automatic rifle to take down? None. P
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." UnQuote: Mr. Benjamin Franklin USA
Guns doesn't mean liberty.
I am a Kiwi and live in rural NZ, the minority elected 'dear leader' does not speak for me! The question is pretty simple one from my position; why do the crimes of a foreign citizen mean that I lose my access to specific firearms?
Exactly bro...and that's exactly what the mass murder wanted...
Crimminals get illegal guns...they don't care about gun laws...the only prejudiced are the civilians
@@davijazzz Never let a good tragedy go to waste! They even made his manifesto illegal so that us plebs couldn't read it and realise that the government is doing exactly what he wanted them to.
@Micheal Carney Who are you to tell me what i need? to say what people need? this is an authoritarian thought
@Micheal Carney ok bro, say this to Brazil, guns are extremely restricted and the homicide hate committed by crimminals with illegal guns are extremely high...
Its ironic, the term surrender your gun.
Sheep to the slaughter with the government as your Shepard.
2nd Amendment deaths per year was 40,000 last year....
if your family was shot to death is yet another mass shooting, would you still be trying to prevent rational lhuman aws that protect children, Police etc....
@@MilesBellas up yours, communist.
@@UggaWaggaProductions
Meaningless.
.
That offensive swaggering comment demonstrates why you should probably not be allowed to own weapons.
Guns should be legal for anyone who is a registered member of the military, Police etc.....
not gun nuts, suicide victims, black robbers, gangstas etc......
Madison and Jefferson did not see the future.
@Jamie Bridgeman
Suicidal behaviour can be resolved.
Facilitating suicide or murder/suicide is unfortunately not uncommon with gun deaths.
@Jamie Bridgeman
Meaningless generalisation.
The 2nd Amendment empowers some suicidal people to go on mass killings spress before killing themselves......
ie Paddock in Las Vegas
Compare the US gun death rate to other countries.
The US is comparable to a 3rd world country.
Guess I can scratch NZ off of the places to visit list.
@lilchopcone I can name call too... you're a dick. I can also not contribute my tourist dollars to countries that are too cowardly to confront this ideology head on in the court of public opinion, opting instead to punish law abiding citizens and to engage in organized censorship. Go be an idiot on someone else's time.
Matt - The only people being Weak Buffoons are the ones Giving up their Guns to the Government!
@Matt lol... I have nothing to prove to you. That said, I once served with troops from NZ and was dumbstruck by the lack of discipline exhibited in my personal interactions with their leadership. The only thing of value that they brought with them was beer. I can extrapolate and assume that they're a product of their environment.
@Matt 😆😆😆
Matt - Oh well sorry about that. It sucks that you guys have no gun rights.
Lol, exactly what he wanted.
@Zzzz Zzzz Oh they will in the future (exactly like he wanted) just not from the white legal permit holders.
who?
SHALL NOT COMPLY
Guns are not a right in NZ. And New Zealanders have common sense.
We shall not take in your evil.
@@wrathc53 I'm not from the US, and I'm not evil.
We have tons of gun control where I'm from, so much so that my government wants to make self-defence illegal.
Do you think that's stopped criminals from obtaining fully-automatic weapons? Do you think it's stopped criminals from making weapons at home?
Nope, still have a 58+ murder rate a day.
It's easy to surrender your freedom, untill things change and it's too late.
I don't support nanny states.
@@StephGrobler1 You are from my country! Considering the looting and destruction that happened all my guns that I buy from now will be on section 16.
@@manofvalour6982 Section 16 is the best route to go in my opinion. The 10 year license, no limit on ammo purchases, and restricted weapons.
I got myself a Saiga .223 AK just before covid hit.
But now the prices have gone up insanely recently.
I wish you the best of luck and safety.
Stop watching this through your American Eyes.

Bruh that's the only eyes I have
@@B2727 😂
No
Most kiwis shooters disagree with this. So yeah....
pist control
woman?
Can anyone from there actually tell me why it is you don't agree with it yet you all March right up there and hand them over....
Im sure because of their gun registry as soon as the deadline passes you can expect some neon yellow police officers knocking on your door and instead of getting paid for your gun getting taken, you get arrested
Well here's the thing. Not everyone has the same opinion. Not everyone is the same. There are still a lot of people who haven't handed them in. Furthermore, what else could you do? I mean yes you could try hide them. But if you get caught you'll be in serious trouble.
@@scootergrant8683 Most people did hide them. Only around 50K guns were handed in, most of which just had the capability of holding more than 10 rounds. Around 10-20K handed in were semi auto centrefire rifles. NZ has an estimated 200K semi auto centrefire rifles.
@@QuickStessi Yup. 50k firearms and 2 billion dollars gone down the drain. Looking through the release documentation it's rather interesting to see that for the 2020 period and the 2021 period, the categories aren't all the same. In fact, the categories as a whole aren't logical. They don't divide the firearms into common designations. It's almost as if there's an agenda to make it look like they got more dangerous things than they did 'cause some areas that should have a definite definition are barely defined whilst something that should be under one category is split into other forms. It's all depressingly badly done.
@@scootergrant8683 Exactly. Taking away the law bidding people's guns just so that the regular uneducated townie feels "safe" from a nutter once every 20 years. If the police and government enforced laws that were already in place, what happened in Christchurch wouldn't have happened.
Happed in Australian now it’s happening in New Zealand
Coming to Poland soon too.
Don’t forget Canada also.
@@pricelessppp nope, there are federal challenges and a massive amount of defiance from citizens in Canada. Canada is 7th per capita for gun ownership an gun rights can now only increase.
Can't believe people actually turned up
Yeah cause we don't want to be like the US and have tons of shooting every few days
@@braxtonmathews6434 yea cause that happens.....
@@morgs456 it does happen tho........
this is legit what he wanted aswell haha
All according to plan. Just like he wanted. The sheep are so predictable.
The US needs to follow.
The 2nd Amendment is an anachronism.
Modern life does not need an ad hoc musket militia from a law created before the discovery of electricity.
MilesBellas NEVER

Go to hell
@@Macedonia-is-Greek
That is your own projection of your own identity.
Hell is fiction.
It was invented by Jewish peasants on a area named Gehenna in Jerusalem, which was a dump site for trash outside the old city.
I used to live and work in Jerusalem....I am not Jewish.
I used to live near Gehenna aka "hell" and it actually very beautiful and very exclusive.
In the central area of the valley is a park people relax in, jog in etc..... and kids play in.
Nearby tbe houses are old white Jerusalem stone cottages with little winding cobbled roads.....like Greece.
There are windchimes, shading trees and people grow fragrant flowers and herbs for cooking.
So yes I have absolutely been to Gehenna aka Hell,
I used to live and work nearby.....
it's actually very beautiful with a full view of the old city.
What I need is not your business.
