Yes its the ones that allow for rapid fire which are banned here now. The limit here is on those types of guns. Guns still are legal but with restrictions.

What kind of weapons were banned?

Changes to firearms law - prohibited firearms

there you go. The latest article on the topic for you to read.

You can still defend yourself with a pea shooter but your ability to defend yourself was just significantly reduced by your government. Were large mass shootings a common occurrence before the Australian citizen did what he did? From what I read, your country already had strict gun laws in place relating to the purchase/ownership of the guns that are banned. I don't live there. So, what your government does and what its people support it doing doesn't matter much to me. Like I said, I would have looked at the issue as an individual issue vs a social issue and passed a law that restricts foreign citizens from Australia or any other country from purchasing firearms in New Zealand. BTW, I figured New Zealand would do what Australia did a while ago.
