New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has officially announced that a reformative guns management bill will be introduced in the future.
The New Zealand Police Commissioner had previously said the loophole in New Zealand's guns law made it difficult for the police to manage effectively. For example, some slightly guns savvy people can easily convert semi-automatic rifle available on the market into a military-grade semi-automatic guns.
In fact, the Gunman Brant Tarant, who had previously launched a terrorist attack, has purchased four semi-automatic weapons directly in Christchurch.
Clearly, under the pain, New Zealand realized the need to tighten the management of the guns.
Next door to New Zealand is Australia, the world's most guns-managed developed country.
But the progress of Australia is also caused by pain.
In 1996, the picturesque resort of (Port Arthur), the port of Tasmania, was broken by shoot.
Crazy Australian man, Martin Bryant.
After killing his neighbor, the hand-held AR-15 fired frantically at passers-by, causing 35 deaths and 23 injuries.
In this horrific shoot, a few points are very interesting.
One, the killer's heavy fire.
When the tragedy occurred, the killer held the AR-15 machine gun, pressing only the left wheel of pistol police can not look up!
Even after the heavy-firepower special police arrived, the situation still did not improve ~
Until the murderer changed the folder, a brave road talent subdued it.
PS: 's killer had plenty of ammunition.
2. The killer lives very well now.
Most ironically, Martin Bryant, who was subdued by passers-by, immediately smiled and surrendered comfortably to the police.
Because there is no death penalty in Australia! So the killer knew he was in prison for life; plus Martin Bryant played the trick: "I'm a psychopath."
He was sentenced to only 1, 035 years in prison, and is still serving a sentence in Risdon Prison.
PS: means to raise him with taxpayer's money and high welfare.
The prison was treated so well that the killer gained a lot of weight in it:
The tragedy immediately triggered a revolution in Australia, when Prime Minister John Howard
Announcing pressure to push ahead with guns reform: "all heavy firepower, large caliber and fully automatic guns must be turned in!"
In 2004, the government went further: limit ammunition, limit guns size, limit gun license plates.
Instead of forcibly confiscating non-compliant guns, government, it has adopted a more acceptable "buyback" system.
The program, called "Great Buy Back," bought back more than 640000 guns.
Since then, Australia's shoot case has been brought under obvious control, and has been used as an example in various gun-ban situations.
Now Australia's guns management is very strict, even if there are occasional sporadic shoot cases, but also did not cause major damage.
Basically, the boys looked at the following process, and they were too lazy to hold a gun.
1. Applicants must be citizen or permanent residence, that is, it is difficult to apply for overseas immigrants or refugee.
2. Attend the government approved gun meeting.
To be legally armed, you must join the various gun clubs approved by the government, which is tantamount to bringing the gunmen under more regional supervision.
Ps: these associations charge expensive dues.
3. Pass a rigorous exam
As with a driver's license, holding an guns license in Tu'ao requires a variety of written tests and training and, finally, an examination and a certificate of completion. However, to get the certificate of completion is only a starting point!
4. Apply for and register personal information
First, you need to register your personal information with the guns Authority, and then fill in the application form to explain why you are armed.
Oddly enough, if the reason for the application is self-defense, this life may not be with guns ~
5. Long vetting and waiting
Collect all the previous documents and mail them back to the guns Administration.
Wait 28 days (for thinking about your decision ~).
Waiting for the federal police to investigate your criminal record..
Waiting for the federal police to investigate your mental condition..
Wait for the federal police to investigate if you're drunk / take drugs.
Waiting for the federal police to contact immigration to find out if you're a legal immigrant..
After all the investigations have passed, take pictures, pay the fee and get the license..
But don't worry, it's not over yet.
6. The limits that annoy the dead.
Caliber requirements, type requirements, magazine requirements, bullet number requirements, shoot times requirements, buttstock requirements, gun storage cabinets require, with a gun occasions, hunting needs additional applications, hunting also needs to write a report.
The police will also check on the house from time to time.
Finally, Australia's guns is expensive!
A gun can be used for thousands of dollars. Are you sure you can afford it?
However, even under such harsh management, Australia's guns management is facing gradually out of control.
In fact, the root cause behind the terrorist attack is not guns.
Guns are just their tools.
Just stricter guns management measures, it is true that such an event can be eliminated to a certain extent.
As for the deeper political, social factors behind these terrorist attacks, more tragic events may be needed to allow us to look directly at them.
