New Zealand introduces bill it plans to rush into law that would ban the types of weapons a terrorist used to kill 50 people at two mosques last month
Police guard the site of Friday's shooting undergoing investigation, outside the Linwood Mosque, in Christchurch, New Zealand on March 18, 2019.
The bill wouldn't ban guns often used by farmers and hunters, including semi -automatic .22-caliber or smaller guns that hold up to 10 rounds, or shotguns that hold up to five rounds. The bill would also impose tougher penalties for people who use the weapons after they are banned. Lawmakers intend to introduce more legislation later in the year, including the creation of a register to track guns.
