four times more likely to get you injured and five times more likely to be killed if you resist with a firearm but Macho Man kills someone with a toy gun.

I understand the feeling that SOME people want to defend a few $$ at the expense of a human life but it's a stupid and costly move.

How did the shooter deal with finding out the VICTIM of gun violence was actually not armed and how will he cope with the outcome of taking someone's life?

Was it worth it for a few $$ when the perp was leaving and no one was injured?

But then guns make you all powerful and all knowing real life not withstanding.
