From experience, NZ will never have the gun problems the US has ( because that's what we're talking about here, the US' gun problems, not the culture), because NZ has basic social services, a high standard of living and social standards. The average level of education and world awareness is atrocious, poverty is rampant through all parts of the country, and there are just plain too many people. I'm really not at all joking or exaggerating. The current level of polarization there (IE ban everything vs from my cold dead hands) comes from their politics that makes everything a battle of extremes where surrender, loss, or giving ground is impossible as the other side will push their agenda to the limit the minute they get the chance. It seems there's still something of a community feeling in NZ that puts the brakes on that.
Nothing wrong with the ad - I'm sure it'll ruffle some snowflakes' feathers, but if that's the worst thing they experience in their day to day life then things are pretty good on the whole.
