(16,038 posts)As long as we're pretending, pretend you want to kill people and make the biggest mark you can....do you pick your target (s) carefully? If you do, wouldn't you select someplace that you were pretty certain wouldn't have police, security, or armed citizens? Most people under the above conditions would. As stated nobody knows when or where something like this will occur, it is an unbelievable coincidence that almost all of these occur in places where nobody is allowed to carry.
There are many possibilities for change. One example would be arresting...or at least investigation of every person who tries to buy a gun and is denied by NICS. As it is over a million people are denied annually and less than 1% are even investigated. These are people with involuntary commitments, felonies, and domestic violence issues actively trying to illegally purchase and possess firearms who are calling the FBI...in real time...to tell them they are actively trying to acquire a gun....how about start there?
