>>8657542no no sir, you misunderstand
OP lives in the city. The uptick in highly publicized mass shootings in the last decade or so really hits close to home for him. Everything I hear from city-goers backs this up, and everything my elders tell me about "the bad part of town" involves the constant threat of mugging/murder. This brings the tension he lives with on a daily basis to a front, which he has to face emotionally as the emergency unfolds.
You, however, in your little island colony which has never seen a real war since colonization, have no concept of what it feels like for a gun to be a threat, and thus a mass shooting might as well be a fairy tale as far as your emotions are concerned.
I'm telling you, dumbass, that you're underestimating the gravity of the concept in a country that actually has guns in wide circulation.
Your shooter had to move in from Australia, that's how rare guns are in New Zealand.
