To the latest on last Friday's Christchurch terror attacks and the New Zealand prime minister has asked people to refrain from giving the gunman notoriety by mentioning his name. Jacinda Ardern also vowed to announce gun control reform in the coming days after 50 people were killed in the mosque shootings. Here's more now from our New Zealand correspondent, Owen Poland.

It's yet another sombre memorial for one of the 50 victims, this time 25-year-old Ansi Alibava who came to New Zealand from India with her husband.

She'd just completed a University Master's degree in business and people are asking why the killer had access to high powered semi-automatic weapons.

"A common man, he should not keep a semi-automatic weapon. Why do we need this? No, we don't need a semi-automatic weapon to protect ourselves. Especially when we live in such a peaceful country like New Zealand."

And Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is tapping into that sentiment with her determination to change the nation's gun laws.

JACINDA ARDERN NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER "This ultimately means that within 10 days of this horrific act of terrorism, we will have announced reforms which will, I believe, make our community safer."

A ban on the sale of semi-automatics and a possible buy back of those deadly firearms is under consideration. But the gun shop owner who sold weapons to the alleged killer says that he's done nothing wrong.

DAVID TIPPLE OWNER OF GUN CITY "What we are doing is legal and the majority of people have put in place the government that set those laws and we are abiding by those laws which enables us as citizens to peacefully enjoy legitimate activities."

However, David Tipple lost his composure when CGTN's camera crew tried to film his business.

"So who are you? Well, I am the person that is going to take this camera and smash it with a hammer."

"Why are you behaving like that? There's no need. Cut it out. You've got police over there buddy. Cut it out."

OWEN POLAND CHRISTCHURCH "Around seven thousand New Zealanders are licensed to own military-style semi-automatic weapons, but some have already decided to hand them in before any official ban is announced. In fact one farmer shocked Police in a small country town when he simply walked up to the Police station holding his rifle. So people are now being told 'ring the Police first' to arrange safe transport."

The president of New Zealand's biggest gun club - which closed it's shooting range immediately after the massacre - says that laws made in haste don't always achieve much, but he's a lone voice.

JACINDA ARDERN NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER "In fact, I strongly believe that the vast majority of gun owners in New Zealand will agree with the sentiment that change needs to occur. I, in fact, believe that they will be with us."

And while New Zealand's gun lobby says that the present laws covering semi-automatics meets the needs of society, most New Zealanders appear to disagree.

"No more semi-automatics, yeh."
