46. That's not an unreasonable response, especially when it did personally affect you

But on the other hand "sticks with you" is a world apart from "I can't go to the grocery store without almost-crippling worry of a mass shooter".

Trust me, I'm far far FAR more concerned with the epidemic of mass shootings, and to repeat myself again, effective and immediate action on firearms is an absolute priority - I just think it's a small, sad side effect that a not insignificant number of people have what appear to be pretty significant day-to-day affects even though it's (coldly logically/rationally I'll admit) almost less than nothing to be worried over.

I suppose it is a matter of luck or random chance, yes, but the odds are so overwhelmingly in my favor that the thought literally does not enter into my head, even if I'm sitting in a mall food court or at a concert.
