New Zealand only has relaxed laws in comparison to the totalitarian crackdown CNN would like. They are right in that NZ doesn't require registration of 96% of civilian firearms. What they fail to mention is that those 96% are single shot hunting rifles. NZ has very stringent requirements on anything semi-automatic -- at least, they claimed to when I was there in 2016 -- and they're not keen on civilian ownership of handguns. One thing NZ has that I'd like to see copied in the US is that suppressors are viewed as safety/hygiene items (preserve your hearing and that of others in the outdoors) so are available over the counter without permit or registration (or so I understand).
This was a horrific atrocity, just as any school/church/synagogue etc incident stateside is.
An observation-
When your people in your "ideology" excel in running amok on a worldwide basis doing terrorist shit, don't be surprised when terrorist shit comes back to bite you in the ass.
When someone on a suicide mission is willing to sacrifice their life in the killing of others, no amount of laws will stop them.
This argument has been used by many to categorize 9/11 as a justifiable response to American foreign policy, and that's just as shitty as this is. These 49 people are not responsible for terrorist acts, nor should they have answer for crimes of others just because they may share a religion.
I don't know if anyone else heard this, but I heard on the radio (850 KOA), and maybe saw on foxnews.com that the "authorities" were trying to erase this video from the internet, and were interested in whom was seeking out the video "for like mindedness." (if that is a word.) That scares me more than anything.
