Two licensed conceal/carry idiots kill each other.

There aren't enough CCWs in the country to make one interrupting a mass shooting remotely likely, unless it occurs someplace like rural Utah.

or holdups at donuts shops?

Ever wonder why there is never a mass shooting at gun shows?

Probably because mass shootings and gun shows are both pretty infrequent events, so you don't get a lot of overlap. I could also be like, "Ever wonder why there is never a mass shooting at Ruby Tuesday?" but it wouldn't mean anything.

Well if it's a donut shop there's probably a cop there.

There are about 8 million active permits, but most of them probably don't carry everywhere they go.

Every weekend here in Harris County.

I do.
What's the use in having and not using?

Gun shows happen all the time. Although the reason people don't shoot up gun shows probably has nothing to do with the guns. Every one I've ever been to requires action locks or zip ties on all the guns to keep them from firing, and if you bring one with you it has to be unloaded.

[Lorizael]

Ruby Tuesday happens all the time, too, but both happen with a lot less frequency than, say, work.

[regexcellent]

Fair enough.

Honestly I don't think I would go to a gun show without those rules about loaded/operable firearms. I have no evidence to support this but I bet it could turn into the everybody shooting each other ****show Oerdin proposed. I've run into some pretty ****ing dumb people at those things.

It would not be hard if one really wanted.

I've never been frisked or gone through a metal detector at a gun show.
All that ammo on the tables right next to the guns? could get really messy!

I just figure I might as well live up to ya'lls expectations.

Just give ya what ya want to hear.

What's wrong with not being a racist?

[Docfeelgood]

I don't know.
Everyone says I'm a racist ( even as I say that I'm not ) so...... I guess I'm a racist.

From now on I'll be saying things that I don't agree with, just so to live up to expectations.

Anyway why do you care? You already KNOW I'm a racist.

Of course, the relative rarity of mass shootings should be an indicator that we have more important things to worry about. I don't know why we don't have nationally televised memorial services for the ~1600 people that die of heart disease every day.

(I still think gun violence is a problem in the US. I just don't think mass shootings are the part we really need to worry about. If mass shootings should cause us to worry about anything, it's how we deal with mental health in the US.)

If we disallowed non-whites to have guns, gun violence would drop dramatically.

Funny thing, no one can dispute this fact.
