Customer Reviews
Do not normalise mass murder
We don't have incidents like this in New Zealand, certainly nothing anything close this scale. It's hard to get guns, most people don't have guns, we don't have a pro-gun culture. Crime is all about opportunity. When I was in the States in Georgia, people couldn't seem to understand why I thought it was better if people don't have access to guns. It made me sick the attitude people seem to have that it's necessary for people to have guns for protection...? Some protection.
