Meanwhile let's all try to imagine the carnage up in Buffalo today if the shooter had used a bazooka instead.
That’s what’s called static analysis. You change one variable, but none other, and then make an erroneous conclusion. It’s rather disingenuous. It’s weak. It's a mental experiment that ignores obvious, important causation. It’s insulting to intelligent people like hq.*
If the killer was armed, other civilians would also be armed with weapons of their own, because their rights would also not be infringed.
After the first shot, or even if he aimed the damn thing in public, then they would kill bazooka man, or disarm him and tie him up, like those religious folks did in Texas ... although that maniac in
Takesus didn't pull out a concealed bazooka.
Knowing that everyone is armed, makes everyone really polite.
* It also doesn't measure up to your capacity, from what I've read.
