If your going to use Graham as an example of anything -he was a licensed firearm owner. He had a permit for several rifles, had been required to surrender them for the home guard but hid them instead so again someone actively breaking the law.

Yes NZ has a history of "mass murders" going back to when the first occupation. The reality is that firearms make up a very small percentage of them even in recent history.
