In reply to the discussion: Prepare for mass shootings like we've never seen before in the coming year [View all]951-Riverside
(7,234 posts)As more firearms are distributed to people who ordinarily wouldn't own one and quite frankly probably shouldn't have one, its going to get a point where we're going to have so many mass shootings and random firearm attacks that people are going to be scared to visit the US, people are going to be afraid to go to large events, afraid to visit malls, afraid to take their children to school, afraid to walk down the street, afraid to bike, afraid to travel on buses, afraid to go out at night, afraid to travel on the roadway, afraid to protest, afraid to deliver mail, and other goods and afraid to patrol the streets.
When that happens, the economy is going to shut down, The National Guard is going to be deployed and people like you are going to have to have to make some hard choices about what it means to "keep and bear arms" and if its really worth it.
Let me remind you that not everyone who buys a firearm is going to lock it away, you're going to get people who are going to want to use them and they're not going to the shooting range. You're also going to get unstable people who are going to try to "one up" each other.
Just something to think about (although most probably won't).
