Its only news because its 20 (or so) at once. Compared to the number of other deaths , accidents/murders etc going on there , each day. And remember 911. Knives were used in that ( boxcutters ) . You can & do have mass killings with knives , just not as many killed thats all. |

| 1446336 | 2018-02-18 22:40:00 | The problem with guns is they make any pussy moron dangerous. www.youtube.com or a law abiding citizen seeking (avenging?) justice at an eye for an eye with a gun - particularly if a gun was used to kill someone they knew. Seen this in many USA movies, including the Jodie Foster film (en.wikipedia.org(2007_film)) where she shoots the gang gun killer(s) of her boyfriend. In USA style the sympathetic cop witness (allows her to shoot the bad guy(s)) then asks her to shoot him to help explain the situation later... |

| 1446338 | 2018-02-19 14:22:00 | My other question to people is "In a free democracy like the USA and NZ, what could the police or the authorities do if they had seen his posts on Facebook and had heard from friends etc what he was like?" Go and have a chat to him? Get his assessed by by left wing psychologist? Take away his gun license? He would soon get a chance to do what he wants Unless you can lock them up for ever. But who would decide that? |

But who would decide that? And there is the problem, You cannot lock someone up for talking crap nor for what they believe or think, we wouldnt have enough jails for that if you could. It is simply impossible to prevent a determined individual from carrying out whatever he wishes to do. Keep in mind that these deranged idiots actually believe that they are, in there own mind, doing the right thing |

| 1446341 | 2018-02-19 21:31:00 | I think they should be those assault rifles in the USA That would be a good start. NZ is no different. We had the chance to ban assault rifles years back, and was being considered , but just didnt happen. Now its too late . Theres no good reason to own those . |
