He was quick-thinking and lucky to be able to wrestle the gun away from the murderer.

Thereās a third one? Jesus ā¦
Terrible things always come in threes. Actually I just read thereās been thirty eight (!) mass shootings across the US in the last couple weeks.
Say what you will about Taiwan, but at least we donāt have to be aware of the nearest exit every time we go out for coffee (cue some shrill bothsider blathering about that one time some gangsters had a shootout in Taipei).

I havenāt seen any of that.
Andā¦another one.
Was it Pony Boyās gang or the Jocks?
That doesnāt account for other shootings
In the short term, some will avoid public places
Others will start to carry a gun.
As more own guns there will be more suicides, domestic shootings, accidental shootings
More security will be hired
Americans will spend a larger part of GDP dealing with this civil war to the exclusion of making America competitive
Americans can more easily get an AR15 than a drivers license
If this trend continues what will 2033 look like?
What is a cause of violence or shooting? The perp had done it before. What was hard the first time is easier the second. As people get accustomed to daily shootings as normal, what happens next?
A lot of your post is silly, but this is the silliest.
Lack of a good old fashioned war.
He should be shot.

Shoulda coulda would ignores reality: itās easier to do something foreign to oneās nature if the person has done it before. Shootings and other violence lead to more shootings. The perp gets accustomed to it and what was once uncomfortable to the perp becomes comfortable.
As Obama said itās easier to buy a gun than get a driverās license

I can definitely get an AR today. Definitely within the hour. Definitely without a background check being run. Itās probable I can get one without providing identification. Itās possible I can get one without identifying myself.
89% of US adults have a drivers licence. 40% of US adults say they live in a household where there is a gun.
The question to my mind is, Why do so many people in the US want to murder strangers on their way out of the planet? Canāt they just go quietly hang themselves in a forest, or get access to decent mental health support? Whatās with all the rage suicides?
California has VERY strict gun laws yet mass shooting still happens. Heck mass shootings happen in Germany where there are strict gun laws (and no neighboring state to bring guns into). The question is why do people seem to want to commit mass murder on their way out.
That doesnāt tell us how you would do such things. Youāre just saying āItās easy,ā and expecting heads to nod. And Iām not being snarky. I walked into a gun shop and bought a muzzle loader. ID. No questions asked. How do you get an AR āmore easily than a license.ā
Is all that easier than going to the DMV with a permit and a successful drivers test and being issued a license?
