Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has spoken from Christchurch on the five-year anniversary of the terror attacks against the city's mosques.
Luxon said the government will continue its review of the Arms Act, but the government has said there "will be no new guns added into New Zealand".
Luxon called today a day for remembering and reflecting, but the government will also soon come together to make final recommendations from the inquiry into the attack.
Canterbury's Muslim community were expected to commemorate the events, with the date this year falling on a Friday - the day of the mandatory Jumu'ah prayer targeted by the gunman.
The attacks in 2019 left 51 worshippers at Masjid Annur and the Linwood Islamic Centre dead or motally wounded.
Luxon met with Muslim leaders on Tuesday, after they sought assurances any changes to gun laws would not put their safety at risk.
