If you try to stop mass shooters by banning guns they'll switch to bombs or trucks or maybe both. What are you gonna do ban fertilizer? It's actually a lot easier to defend yourself in a mass shooting than in a situation with a bomb or truck too. For example. You can wear level iv body armor everywhere. I've got a plate carrier in my room. But if crazy people started mass bombing places twice a week I'd have to buy a flak jacket. I can't afford that. How the -blam!- I'm gonna go to school in a flak jacket? And if some hits you with a truck nothing is gonna save you. So I'm of the opinion that mass shootings are inherently safer than the alternative. Alternatively we could ask the obvious question of what's causing people to become so alienated they decide to engage in mass murder? But no one actually cares.
