New Zealand will ban all types of semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles
following the Christchurch attacks, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said.
The announcement comes less than a week after 50 people were killed at two
mosques, allegedly by a lone gunman.
Ms Ardern said she expected new legislation to be in place by 11 April,
saying: "Our history changed forever. Now, our laws will too."
(紐西蘭總理Jacinda Ardern表示,將在基督城攻擊事件後禁止所有類型的半自動武器和
突擊步槍。
在一名槍手在兩座清真寺裡殺死了50人後不到一周,總理就宣布了這一消息。
Ardern女士表示,她預計到4月11日將實施新立法,並表示:“我們的歷史永遠改變了。
現在,我們的法律也將如此。”)
All of the dead have now been formally identified, police have confirmed.
Australian Brenton Tarrant, a self-proclaimed white supremacist, has been
charged with one murder and was expected to face further charges.
However, police said on Thursday that the person he was formally accused of
killing had been wrongly declared dead.
They said they had apologised to the woman and her family, and that the
charge sheet would be updated when the suspect appeared in court on 5 April.
(警方已證實,所有死者現已正式確認。
自稱為白人至上主義者的澳大利亞人Brenton Tarrant被以謀殺罪起訴,預計將面臨進一
步指控。
然而,警方周四表示,他被正式指控殺害的人有誤。
他們說他們已經向該女方及其家人道歉,並且當嫌疑人於4月5日出庭時,起訴內容將會更
新。)
What will change and how soon?
"Six days after this attack, we are announcing a ban on all military style
semi-automatics (MSSA) and assault rifles in New Zealand," Ms Ardern said in
a news conference.
"Related parts used to convert these guns into MSSAs are also being banned,
along with all high-capacity magazines."
(有哪些改變,多快?
“這次攻擊發生六天后,我們宣布禁止在紐西蘭使用所有軍用半自動裝置和突擊步槍,”
Ardern女士在新聞發布會上說。
“用於將這些槍轉換為半自動的相關部件也被禁止,以及所有高容量彈匣。”)
An amnesty has been imposed so the owners of affected weapons can hand them
in, and a buy-back scheme will follow.
Ms Ardern said the buy-back could cost up to NZ$200m ($138m; £104m), but
"that is the price that we must pay to ensure the safety of our communities".
The prime minister has called the Christchurch attacker a terrorist and said
she will not utter his name.
The gunman, armed with semi-automatic rifles including an AR-15, is believed
to have modified his weapons with high-capacity magazines - the part of the
gun which stores ammunition - so they could hold more bullets.
(赦免方案已經實施,受影響武器的所有者可以將武器交給政府,政府將採取回購計劃。
Ardern女士表示,回購可能會花費2億紐西蘭元(1.38億美元; 1.04億英鎊),但“這是
我們為確保社區安全必須付出的代價”。
總理稱基督城的攻擊者是恐怖分子,並說她不會說出他的名字。
槍手手持半自動步槍,包括一架AR-15,據信用高容量彈匣修改了他的武器,以裝填更多
的子彈。)
As of Thursday, several weapons have been reclassified as military style
semi-automatic firearms, making them harder to buy.
"For many people, you will now be in unlawful possession of your firearm,"
Police Commissioner Mike Bush said.
(截至週四,一些武器已被重新歸類為軍用式半自動槍支,使其難以購買。
“對很多人來說,你現有的槍支將變得不合法,”警察專員Mike Bush說。)

評論:
紐西蘭總理把兇手稱作恐佈分子是對的。
很多媒體至今仍對 "因政治目的造成大量無關平民傷亡" 的事件給予不同稱呼:
兇手為穆斯林的叫做 "terror attack",兇手為白人至上主義者則用較中性的
"mass shooting" (更不用說兇手是無人機時則美化為 collateral damage )。
土耳其總統 Erdogan 最近的言論雖然有點瘋狂,但在這一點上的批評是有理的。
