New Zealand’s largest online auction site is suspending sales of semiautomatic weapons after the deadly attack on two Christchurch mosques last week that killed 50 people. Following an outcry from the mass shooting, the site TradeMe said it would also cease listing parts for the guns on Monday. The suspected gunman in Friday’s attack had five guns: two semiautomatic rifles, two shotguns and a lever-action firearm, The Wall Street Journal reported. He held a basic Category A New Zealand gun license, and likely legally purchased the weapons. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said she will announce gun law reforms within 10 days.
