New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says gun laws will change.
Pending parliamentary approval, there will be a gun amnesty and a buy-back scheme.
But most importantly, the new laws would also ban the sale of semi-automatic assault rifles.
In the meantime, an interim ban is now in place.
Last week, an Australian national entered two mosques in Christchurch and shot and killed 50 people.
Funerals are being held this week.
Ardern took just six days after the massacre to announce her firearms ban.

CYCLONE IDAI DEATH TOLL GROWS
At least 300 people are confirmed dead in Zimbabwe and Mozambique after Cyclone Idai - with the death toll expected to climb far higher.
Rescuers are still struggling to reach thousands of survivors in Mozambique, where the port city of Beira has been completely devastated.
Doctors say disease is a huge threat because of a lack of clean water and food.
