...there was a piece linked here in GD saying that the city is considering putting an end to them.
So the answer to your question, they just might be over.

It’s like our right to be out in public without getting shot means nothing anymore.

I guess the fetal position would work. Great solution, John.

In fairness, there's a tiny sliver of a good idea there, but it does nothing for the real issues. The time to worry about mass shootings shouldn't be in the middle of said mass shootings.
