6:04Now PlayingSpeaking at the United Nations General Asembly (UNGA), New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says Kiwis collectively decided it was not defined by violence but compassion and empathy after the Christchurch shooting on March 15.
"There is no changing a nation's history. But we can choose how it defines us."
Ardern called on the global community to help people feel safe, recalling her encounter with a Muslim boy after the attacks.
"Feeling safe means the absence of fear, living free from racism, bullying and discrimination. Feeling loved, included, and able to be exactly who you are. And to feel truly safe, those conditions need to be universal, no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter where you live."
New Zealand plans to further tighten its gun laws six months after terror attacks on two Christchurch mosques left 51 people dead.
The government will introduce legislation to ensure gun ownership is restricted to responsible users, and seek to stop the flow of guns into the black market, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. The bill will include a register to track every firearm, and will shorten the duration of a gun license to five years from 10 years, according to a government statement.
Ardern moved within days of the March 15 shootings to ban military style semi-automatics and assault rifles, and her government commenced a buyback of those weapons in June. She said the attacks exposed weaknesses in existing gun laws that her government would address.
