China News Service, July 13, According to the Central News Agency, in March, after the shooting of New Zealand Christchurch mosque, the gun repurchase plan was launched, and anti-blocking semi-automatic weapons were circulated on the market. Now this new law has begun to be implemented. On the 13th local time, on the first day of the recycling plan, many people responded to the policy to hand over guns, and a total of 169 people in Christchurch handed over 224 weapons.
Data picture: On March 29, local time, New Zealand held a national memorial ceremony in Hagley Park, Christchurch to mourn the victims of the mosque shooting. The picture shows a boy sitting on the shoulder of an adult at the commemoration ceremony.
According to reports, New Zealand will hold more than 250 recycling operations across the country, the first event was launched in Christchurch, where the shooting broke out. Less than four months ago, 51 Muslims were shot dead by gunmen while praying in a mosque.
