What I find odd is that isn't this kind of reaction exactly what fucking nutjobs want? Don't they win if we live in fear constantly and question normal people with good intentions? I thought the entire point of NZ's reaction to the shooting was to create a safer environment, yet it sounds like they are living in fear.

The sooner we realize that people are just fucking nuts sometimes and that life is a chaotic mess the better. That doesn't mean we should sit back and just let psycho's do whatever they want, but taking away rights and spreading fear will only cause tensions to rise which will only increase the likelihood of tragedies happening even more...

Couldn't agree more! I'm a little surprised the govts, and psychopaths behind them are choosing to continue trying to persuade us with the same ole basic, 'boo' tactic.

I also agree with pretty much everything you wrote actually, the world is a scary, dynamic, eat you in a heartbeat paradise. Life is only life as we know it, because death is always 'right there', waiting. In realizing this, I think freedom is found; Inalienable Rights are realized. There's no one other than oneself to truly keep oneself in all manners.
