THE Gun Thread

[The Architect Of Fate]

And you seem to think we should rely on something that happens very rarely. There’s a reason there aren’t a lot of Elisjsha Dickens in situations like the one in Houston and it ain’t because of no gun zones. You want a hint, look up the bystander effect and add to it that there’s no guarantee that the “good guy with a gun” will be able to do the deed correctly.

We might as well rely on lighting strikes to kill shooters. Most people are not Elisjsha Dickens nor do they have the dumb luck they did. It was just probable Elisjsha would have been blown away by the shooter. Also were programmed to avoid danger if we believe someone else will handle it or unless we have an overwhelming likelihood of success and while there are times this can be overturned it's not reliable in the slightest.
