  1. Seems like a massive failure and mistake to release someone considered to be dangerous in general public. People like that with convictions should be jailed.

  2. I didn't know it was legal to have a mass shooting outside of the United States

  3. American disease spreading.

  4. We can thank the NZ Labour party for this. Release violent offenders on home detention. Let's do this

  5. Keep these peckerwoods off the streets

  6. Well, there ya go. Only the outlaws have guns. Criminals don't care how many gun laws or bans you have, they don't buy guns legally! Why is that so hard to understand? They can make guns!

  7. This is a mental health problem.

  8. A supposed gun free country..

  9. Hey Kiwis hows that strict gun control working for you guys. When are you people going to learn that you can only take guns from the law abiding. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

  10. Remember when the horse face prime minister of NZ put in gun control lol

  11. I only know about the world cup after this news

  12. lucky it wasn't a semi automatic gun, They were banned after the Mosque shooting (that killer was from Australia). This new guy only had a shotgun used on farms so couldn't do a massacre. Possibly stolen as he has no firearms licence

  13. Oh there is world Cup going on

  14. This disgusting American disease has spread to other countries.

  15. Well Auckland is not safe anymore the judges are soft in this country criminals roam the streets freely .the government in NZ has been emptying the prisons crime is at an all time high in nz

  16. I thought guns are illegal in New Zealand…..

  17. Guns are getting into the wrong hands

  18. Been to New Zealand. Wonderful country and a wonderful people. I’d take one mass shooting every other year than multiple shootings a day here in the United States.

  19. What a joke the gun buy back was. Did they really beleave the criminally minded would hand them back. The gunman wearing an electronic ankle bracelet tells you it all. Sack the police commissioner or arm the good people to defend themselves.

  20. He committed suicide

  21. The Mosque shooting, now this…
    Unbelievable that something like this happened in such a quiet small-populated nation

  22. Incident at 1 QU33N STR33T

  23. I never understand the west take pride for freedom, yet no one take out arms to defend their right to live… Should go Rambo and shoot back. Thousand dies still no one came to rescue.
