We know that our police failed in applying our gun laws, and that did directly contribute to this act of terror happening. We know that the report recommends better systems be put in place and we know that the report writers were not mandated to look at gun law reform, but I am proud that our Government did act decisively in banning military-style semi-automatics—which never had a place in our society—that we did work to make it more difficult to obtain firearms, and that New Zealand is not a nation, like others are, that looks on while mass violence happens and won't change our gun laws for pressure from a gun lobby.
