Christchurch gun shop sold rifles online to accused shooter

There have been concerns that intelligence agencies have been overly focused on the Muslim community in detecting and preventing security risks. Police commissioner Mike Bush said the police are certain Tarrant was the only gunman but aren't ruling out that he had support."I would like to state that we believe absolutely there was only one attacker responsible for this," he told a news conference. "That doesn't mean there weren't possibly other people in support and that continues to form a very, very important part of our investigation."None of the guns sold to Tarrant were military-style, semi-automatic weapons, according to Tipple. It was not clear if any of the firearms Tarrant purchased from Gun City were used in Friday's shootings.In vowing to tighten gun laws, Ardern has said the attacker used five guns, two of them semi-automatic, which were purchased with an ordinary gun license and modified.Tipple said he felt no responsibility for the tragedy and refused to say whether he believed gun ownership laws should change in New Zealand, insisting a debate over guns should be held at another time."This man wrote in his manifesto that the purpose of using a firearm was to divide us," Tipple said. "If we allow him to make changes in our ideology, in our behaviour, he's won."His store has been criticised for leaving out a roadside advertising billboard that shows a parent helping children with rifle target practice in the wake of the shootings. 1687003 Dailyhunt[http://onlineboxing.net/jforum/user/profile/19080.page](http://onlineboxing.net/jforum/user/profile/19080.page)
