It must suck to be in your country and be defenseless against criminals.

I don't know about NZ, but our country has waaaay less criminals,
shootings, lower overall crime-rate than - let's say - New York City or Los
Angeles (might be the same number of people, about 8 or 9 million).

We also don't have shootings at schools or universities, we don't need
security checks at school entrances.

So what is the difference?

I don't know. I don't live where you live or know much about it. We
don't have much crime where I live either and at least every other
person is armed according to the latest statistics I've seen. I don't
know what drives a person to commit violence like this. I don't know
what drives a person to commit suicide bombing either.
