Another active shooter in MD.

Now imagine how a person will fly into a killing rage when he thinks that he has a real reason to do so.  The average person who flips out and kills someone is venting his rage against a specific person or several related people.  He's different from the serial killer and he would never kill anyone unless the specific victim really pissed him off on a particular bad day.  So be nice to everyone you meet or at least don't be a prick toward them.  

If things were as you say, we would have an epidemic of unchecked violence, as people do not fail to piss each other off currently. That we do not have such an epidemic suggests that normal people are somehow able to check their more aggressive impulses, and when they can't, they are frequently taken out of society and locked up where they can do no harm. Murderous rage does not seem to be as common as your argument contends.

Give the NRA and the republicunts a little more time.  They are working on it.
