We ask the people on the street what their opinion is around our gun laws in the wake of the Christchurch shootings.
No, I think our gun laws are pretty good. We are one of the countries that are pretty strict so I think they should stay the same.

You are way behind the times and it is better to be proactive rather than close the gate after the horse has bolted. I can't believe they have allowed people to walk around buying those guns, it's like the United States.

Yes they do, I am not too sure why we are still allowed semi-automatics.

It would make it safer for us to walk around here. You don't know who could get caught up in that sort of thing and I would hate to see a lot of innocent people get caught up in that.
