What if I wanna use an 8 instead of a nine?
You are not allowed to go smaller. Use a nine, or use a ten, or use a foty five.
NZ book stores are now making various books "temporarily" unavailable due to the shooting. For example Jordan Peterson's 12 rules for life.
Praise Allah that something good is coming from this terrible tragedy that is so infringing on the gun rights of the faithful!
This better shot confirms no signficant damage to the Subaru's windshield other than the bullet holes.

I wonder why the narrative changed from "fired two shots at him" to this demonstrably false "shattered his windshield".
Interesting. Probably just subhuman journo trash misreporting things. I will note that it's really, really hard to actually fully shatter a safety glass windscreen. You can smash a baseball bat or a tire iron right into one and it will not break too much glass away beyond the impact zone. It will cause cracks that make it a little harder to see through the rest of the windscreen but you can still drive fine, especially with one with that little damage.
Everyone already knows about this since the media has been on it nonstop. If anything, the media hit pieces and the endless gabbing by news stations has made it impossible not to keep up with the case. At this point, blurring photos and not using the name means nothing.
The name 'Brenton Tarrant' is now right up there with 'Omar Mateen'. Noone remembers the names of losers like Nick Cruz, but something like this is a little bit different.
That's like every semi-auto firearm. Does that only apply to rifles or pistols too? I mean, seriously, what semi-auto doesn't have a detachable mag that can hold more than five rounds?
Pistols are already severely restricted in NZ. You have to keep yours at a pistol club where you and your fat boomer mates regularly shoot, unless you're a cop who has multiple illegal pistols 'liberated' from drug dealers and bikkies over the years, in which case you just shoot them somewhere rural and don't worry about it. They pretty much couldn't make the pistol situation worse. No doubt the evil horse faced cunt will try later though.
Otherwise, yeah, we would moving to a position where pistol shooters would be stuck with early Mausers, Borchadts, and Steyr 1912s.
As far as rifles w/o detachable mags go, the SKS, in new-build Norinco form, is reasonably popular here, because they're cheap. They were previously restricted to 7 rounds, I believe- would need to be further restricted to 5 now which is typical from horse face and her faggot mates.
It will be interesting to see if serious modifications that would require cutting and welding to reverse are allowed where they might be practical on popular types like AR-15s and M-14s. If it's up to the cops who run the firearms units, it will be allowed. If it's up to disgusting horse faced cunts who worked for Tony Blair, it won't be.
