good eye anon. yet another false flag proof.
Per New Zealand gun laws the alleged shooter was not allowed to possess an AR style rifle that could hold more than 7 rounds
"A Category firearms are those that do not fall into any other category, and are the vast majority of legally-owned firearms in New Zealand, and support a surprisingly wide number of types. For example semi-automatic AR-15 style rifles are permitted in this category provided they can only hold 7 or less rounds as well as meeting the other criteria."

"Suspect had a Category 'A' gun license," New Zealand police commissioner Mike Bush said at a press conference on Saturday. "We can report more fully at the conclusion."
