America has all those things in spades too.

The Christchurch shooter was an australian (to our eternal shame). But he shot up a school in New Zealand instead of in australia because it was easier to buy guns in NZ. (Was easier. They pushed through stricter gun controls after that incident).

Um. No. Assuming you read what he wrote, he stated clearly that he got it and did it there not because of convenience, but because it would cause NZ to clamp down on guns ( and serve as an example ). He was actually a successful terrorist, which is presumably why CNN asked everyone not to even think of looking at it, because it can corrupt you.
