flag New Zealand is overhauling gun laws with stricter sales checks, 3D-printed gun controls, buybacks, and social media vetting to reduce suicides and extremism.

flag New Zealand is overhauling its firearms laws for the first time in 40 years, with key reforms including third-party verification for private sales, stricter controls on 3D-printed guns, a buyback program for unlicensed firearms, and mandatory social media checks for applicants. flag The changes aim to reduce gun-related suicides, improve accountability, and counter extremism by requiring proof of a legitimate reason to own firearms, enhancing mental health integration, and mandating training to spot radicalization. flag Full registration of all firearms is targeted by August 2028, with public submissions closing February 16.
