I think the terrorist probably wanted more guns tbh.
He very specifically stated he chose guns because he wanted to create conflict over gun control.
will be fun to revisit this post when New Zealand near-unanimously passes a set of strict gun control measures some time next week
And I'll still be saying what I'm saying now. Giving into the desires of terrorists is weak. Especially when the issue of guns had nothing to do with this event. The terrorist made it very clear there were other methods he could have used to kill so many people. But it's useful to know that so many people are so simple minded to see it as another "muhhh less guns would fix all of our problems" event instead of what actually caused someone to carry out the act of violence, Jacinda included.
