‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
WINDER, GA—In the hours following a violent rampage in Georgia in which a lone attacker killed at least four individuals and injured nine others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the m...

"If only there were 50 more guns for everyone to whip out at the same time with no way of knowing who the shooter is in the sea of guns, that'll be safer!"
I think I've read a story or two about the "anti-shooter" getting shot for being at a massacre with a weapon drawn, like some kind of murderer.
Drawing a weapon in public seems insane to me. Even if you are the "good guy with a gun" in the eyes of everyone else, you are a potential murderer.
That happened at my university, though not to someone affiliated with the university. He was trying to break up a fight. He had a gun and it fell out its holster. He was grabbing for it as campus police were shouting not to. They shot and killed him. While you can argue about whether the police response and training was appropriate, one thing is definitely true. If he had not had a gun on him that day, he would not have been killed. A country awash in guns is not a better country, despite what the "a well armed society is a polite society" people claim.
Isn't it funny that some of the most armed people are also the least polite.
Thats always the thing about gun folk who won't go to the mailbox without their weapon, right? However they justify it, its inherently this fantasy that they'll get to shoot somebody. If you're worried about being prepared, why not a police stick thing, mace, or a tazer maybe? Why does it HAVE to be the hyper lethal super easily reloaded thing or bust?
In that vein, these are all things cops carry on them too, why do they NEVER use them and go straight for emptying a clip instead of practicing escalation of force?
The answer? Murder boners. In both cases, its all just a power fantasy of getting to end a life without facing consequences. Sure, a taser will probably make most people drop a gun, but then you dont have the satisfaction of feeling that ultimate power of control over someone else's life.
I also believe zombie movies are a facet of this.
Oh, what’s that? A human-shaped monster of an excuse to blow a thousand rounds? Extremely American.
The Purge is the same thing without the window dressing of a monster.
And also both in movies and "prepper" or gun nut rhetoric, survival begins and ends with guns. No gardening, no first aid, no communication techniques, just guns.
They are probably just priming people to shoot anyone in the head that have been "declared" zombies.
Hey guys! It turns out all liberals are really zombies. You know what do to.
