New Zealand shooter's arsenal of weapons included an AR-15, the same assault rifle used in the 2017 Las Vegas attack
The Christchurch mass shooting has seen an increase in calls for the country to tighten its existing gun laws further.
There have been increased calls for New Zealand to toughen its gun laws after 28-year-old Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant walked into the Al-Noor Mosque and Linwood Mosque in Christchurch during the Friday prayers with a semiautomatic rifle and open fired.
The mass shooting left 49 dead and at least 20 injured, making it not just the worst such incident in the country's history, but also one of the worst the world has ever seen. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told reporters at a press conference that Tarrant had used two semiautomatic rifles, two shotguns, and a lever-action firearm to carry out the massacre and that he had licenses for all them. She also said he wasn't on any watchlists prior to the attack.
