It’s the kind of overnight gun control Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders can get behind
Three days is all it took for politicians in New Zealand to ban so-called “military style” rifles in the wake of horrific attacks on mosques that left 50 kiwis dead.
The laws haven’t been formally approved by the country’s parliament, but Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the ban on “all military style semi-automatic weapons” takes effect immediately, regardless.
“Today I am announcing that New Zealand will ban all military-style semi-automatic weapons. We will also ban all assault rifles. We will also ban all high capacity magazines,” Ardern said, according to ABC News. “We will ban all parts with the ability to convert semi-automatic or any other type of firearm into a military style semi-automatic weapon.”
It’s the kind of overnight gun control Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders can get behind.
The socialist senator from Vermont praised the government’s move to limit gun rights in a post to Twitter late Wednesday.
Bernie Sanders calls for NZ style gun grab
Well, at least we know where he stands!
