Australian Brenton Tarrant has appeared in court in Christchurch on one murder charge.
Forty-nine people were injured in the shootings at two mosques in the city, and 90 treated for gunshot wounds.
Jacinda Ardern says the accused got a gun license in 2017 and began acquiring weapons soon after.
She says the weapons in his possession for this attack included two semi-automatic weapons, two rifles and one other.
Ardern says people would question why an individual would have access to a semi-automatic weapon.
