"It's a long way to Equestria." Maybe one day humanity will get its act together. Almost certainly not the entire lot of us, but at least maybe some bastions of safety, love and peace will rise.
 
Can we say anything about Islam yet? Or Syrian immigration? How those have been responsible for something like half or more than half of these?... In particular, it's certain sects of Islam and radicalization of it. But some sects are far more prone to radicalization than others.


 
Also, said this on the source since the original comment said something about banning guns:

Within a few days of the Orlando shooting, there was an attempted second shooting where someone started opening fire, but a legal concealed-carry gun owner shot the shooter, and nobody died instead of 50, despite the shooter shooting into a crowd.

If you really want to stop shootings, arm people so they can defend themselves and each other, don't disarm them, because, for example, weed is illegal yet everywhere. So even if illegal, guns will still be in the hands of criminals - just not in the hands of law-abiding citizens.

I care, that's why I say we need more people to be armed. There will always be bad people trying to kill innocent people - sometimes more, sometimes less. But having good defenders of the innocent, ready to protect whenever needed, never hurts.

Of course you can't protect others in a no-gun zone, though. But that won't stop a shooter from walking into one with a gun.

Also, cities like Washington D.C, Detroit, San Fransisco - name the cities with the strictest gun laws, and you'll find the cities with the highest gun crime. They know their potential victims aren't armed and can't defend themselves. But even if you don't believe that, that's undeniable proof that those laws aren't working to make those cities safer.[/bq]
