You nailed it dude. You said exactly what I would have said, and this is the 100% truth and reason this sick, and evil person did this evil thing. Truth is, he just wanted to kill because that's what he wanted to do and do it while pissing people off, then blame it on something so the media, and people can fight each other all day.
massacre's and murders would happen less if the world started executing these killers within a week, especially if found 100% guilty like this guy is, and if they confessed also.... Murders would happen far less, but no no no, instead people want them house, fed and want them to play video games from their prison cell (like the Anders Brevik guy from Norway) instead of the cheaper option of just taking a rope, or a .50 bullet to the head. Murderers would think twice before killing anyone if they knew they were gonna die when captured.
Also the world needs to start teaching self defense/defense classes in schools as a mandatory class. Those people piled up onto each other when the killer got into the room paid for it cause he had no threat at all, he was free to just shoot them over and over, and over and over, then come back and shoot them more, and then shoot them individually... Like beyond sickening. Only one guy from the first church attempted to tackle him and nearly done so if he had acted 1 or 2 seconds before.
I think we need to realize getting on your knees in a corner spells death. If you are not going to fight, you should definitely attempt to run away if you can. These people were in a empty room and just against the corners of the room, it wasn't like they were behind a closed and locked door (which would be much safer) they were just free targets and victims to shoot at.
Obviously what needed to be done was they needed the men to rush him from both corners as soon as he came into the room. Some of the men should have been crouched and springed forward from the lowest point at his legs while the others springed forward from their feet at the upper part of the killer (now the ones that were standing and lunging would probably be shot to death, and maybe even the lower defenders, but it beats just cowering into a corner with people to die).
Watching the video disgusted me completely. Especially just seeing him constantly shoot into them many times, then coming back to do it again and then targeting 1 body at a time and putting bullets into the heads to make sure they were all dead. Just disgusting. After watching this, and I've seen many fucked up videos like those serbian hammer guys that killed 26 people with a hammer and recorded every murder, I've seen just many, and quite frankly. I'm done. I'm not gonna watch anything like this again, I'll read about it, but I'm done watching it. No one deserves to die period. No matter what they believe, what color they are, where they come from, even shit they may have said, no one deserves to die.
Also stopping muslims from entering western countries is never going to happen. It's just a excuse to kill people and that's all it is, the killer knew that nothing will change, he just wanted to murder people.
Also, I'm actually probably gonna buy a handgun myself to be honest, the world is just far too dangerous. I think if this were in the US, those innocent people may have took different actions from being shot instead of just giving themselves to him like that and piling up together, and perhaps one or two may have had a gun on them.
At the end of day, this guy deserves death, NZ does not have a death penalty, but this guy needs to die, and they need to bring back the penalty for cases like this. Set an example, and it might stop other massacres from happening.
EDITED, expect there to be copycat killers now, and also for the record, STOP posting their fucking names, giving these killers attention.
EDITED AGAIN... Last thing. After some thought, I think it's best not to do some things continuously in your life sometimes like going to Church every Sunday for example. You are more likely to be killed in a massacre going every sunday than let's say maybe once a month, or once every three months. This thought isn't for churches either, I'm talking about other things maybe like Gyms, and malls too. But isn't that sad? Sad we have to take so much caution these days cause the world is so fucked up? We have to become hermits and even then, you aren't safe.
