The Government has announced the final legislation for the second round of gun law changes, which will be introduced to Parliament on Friday.



Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern introduced the final Arms Legislation Bill, which includes a register to track firearms, new offences and penalties, and a change to the length of time of issue for a licence from 10 to five-years.

A person found guilty of selling or supplying a firearm to someone without a licence, will now be liable for two years jail time, or a $20,000 fine.

The bill will have its first reading on September 24.

It's the second set of gun law changes - after banning military-style semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles - following the Christchurch terror attack on March 15.

Ardern said the Government is now taking the next step; preventing firearms from reaching criminals.
