Perhaps we should question why the cowardly armed police didnt step in and intervene?
Why dont the media widley cover the stories where an armed citizen has stepped in and taken down the shooter?
This actually happens quite alot in the US.
And by the looks, gun violence is on the increase, obviously this is proof that Jacinda's gun reforms are working like clockwork.

Praising gun reform while at the same time getting applauded for decimalization for abortion!
Guns dont kill people, but abortion is technically murder.
Violence as a whole is on the increase in NZ for many different societal and economic reasons, but these are societal problems that can't simply be fixed by throwing weapons (or money for that matter) in the mix...  That will only encourage more of what the US have an abundance of ie Mass Shootings...  
No-one in their right mind wants that...  I hope...

"There were 16,245 people identifying as being part of the American ethnic group at the 2018 New Zealand census, making up 0.35% of New Zealand's population."
