- New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a ban on all "military-style semi-automatic weapons" and assault rifles just days after the country experienced its worst mass shooting of all time in Christchurch.
- The ban went into affect at 3 p.m. local time and will officially be put into law by April 11.
- The government is also introducing a gun buyback program, which will offer cash incentives to those who are still in possession of illegal weapons.
- The program is estimated to cost anywhere between $NZ100 to $NZ200 million ($69 to $138 million). There will be an amnesty period in place to allow people to hand in their banned weapons within a reasonable amount of time.
Insert social media meme here, "it's like they didn't even try thoughts and prayers as a solution".
Did the government pass this law that quickly or does the Prime Minister have that much authority?
Looks like she did something akin to "pen and phone" measures:
Ardern said that the ban on selling or possessing those weapons went into affect at 3 p.m. local time, and it serves as an "interim measure" while legislation is prepared. She said she hopes the ban will officially be put into law by April 11.
While official legislation is prepared, the country has now made immediate changes to licensing regulations, which will will make it more difficult for buyers to get their hands on assault weapons.

Agree with the ban or not that seems like some executive authority that I don't want to see our President have.
A limited time action while the legislature catches up is pretty much the exact thing our national emergency concept is intended for. It sure seems like there's consensus in their legislature to pass this law but it takes time.
But NZ isn't in the midst of an ongoing National Emergency. The shooting already happened.
It is great that Jim Bakker is still working hard to make Christians look good.
I wonder if anyone has pointed out to him we have had church shootings in this country.
