Cue shrill gun lobby posters, squealing "See! See! Gun laws don't work!!"

Gun violence makes its way all the way to New Zealand. My friend just moved there, thought it was a safe country. Wow!

New Zealand has had quite a few gun related incidents, growing up in Dunedin, I was shocked at the Aramoana shootings.

The attitude of some workers at the WINZ or IRD will be a contributing factor, this guy had just had enough of their condescending response I guess.
They give the guy a bad attitude he snaps shoots 3 kills 2, people get tired of the govts and their bullying.

Tragic event.
Rather than this being an example of gun laws not working its really the opposite. The strict referee checks, police checks (including personal interviews) and graduated weapon class ownership rules prevented this being a case of a guy getting an uzi and mowing down the whole office. NZ did learn from Aramoana.

some of my students are trying to emigrate to NZ, I advised them to stay away from the south.
