Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern tells Colbert of New Zealand's 'pragmatic' gun control response to mass shooting
in Uvalde not as a politician but as a mother. "I'm so sorry for what has happened here," she said. "And then I think about what happened to us, and all I can reflect is: We are a very pragmatic people.
"We saw something that wasn’t right and we acted on it, and I can only speak to that experience," Ardern continued. "When we saw something like that happen, everyone said, 'Never again.' And so then it was incumbent on us as politicians to respond to that. "Now, we have legitimate needs for guns in our country for things like peace control and to protect our biodiversity, but you don’t need a military-style semiautomatic weapon to do that. And so we got rid of that," she added.
