Aftermaths of Christchurch Attacks

The people of the Christchurch city are living in state of fear following the attack. The government must bear the onus for citizens safety. So they have pass stringent rules so that such unprecedented attacks should not happen again.

The rules are as follows :

1. It is now illegal for anyone in New Zealand to view, possess or distribute the video of the christchurch attack in any form, including social media platform.

2. All Assault rifles, semi automatic weapons and high capacity magazines will be banned in New Zealand following the attack.

However, such attack are inevitable but these rules can help to some extend.
