Or

b) Stay home, or go to work, or go to school if it was on a school day, or go outside and toss a football with your pals, or go shopping, or "anything OTHER than the above paragraph."

Most people chose option b.
Completely irrelevant... Strike Two...

In fact, even most people who chose to attend the event weren't armed at all, let alone with a semi-automatic weapon. MOST people chose not to be armed with a firearm at all.

MOST people were not shot at, and MOST people were not killed. And MOST people - including the people who WERE armed - chose not to shoot anyone.
You haven't a clue who was and who wasn't armed.

But we DO know that one of the people shot (Grosskreutz sp?) WAS armed with a "semi-automatic weapon... One he was carrying illegally...

He pointed the gun at Rittenhouse, but like Han Solo, Rittenhouse shot first... Strike Three...
