New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she does 'not understand' why the United States has not passed stronger gun laws in the aftermath of mass shooting events
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she does"not understand" why the United States has not passed stronger gun laws in the aftermath of mass shooting events.
Ahead of a summit on online extremism, Ardern was responding to a question by CNN's Christiane Amanpour asking whether countries can learn from New Zealand. Ardern announced a ban on military-style semiautomatic weapons, assault rifles and high-capacity magazines only days after the March 15 mass shootings on two mosques in Christchurch, which claimed 51 lives.
