New Zealand has launched a gun buy-back scheme in the wake of the deadly Christchurch mosque shootings.
More than $208 million New Zealand dollars, have been set aside to compensate owners of semi-automatic weapons which were banned following the attacks.
The ban was agreed by parliament in April, weeks after the shootings.
