New Zealand’s new sweeping gun laws outlawing military-style weapons went into effect Thursday morning – midnight local time – less than a month after 50 people were killed and dozens wounded at two mosques in Christchurch.

Governor General Patsy Redding signed the bill earlier Thursday, which imposes a penalty of up to five years in prison for anyone who retains such a weapon. Exemptions allow heirloom weapons held by collectors or weapons used for professional pest control.
