There are too many very fast shooting weapons already out there. We are a nation of guns. I sold most of mine to get letters out to victim assistance providers all over the United States and some abroad in 1992 and 1993.
I had first written victimologists all over the world about my problems with law libraries in 1991 and how they thought I should proceed. They did not have high hopes about much of anything.
But now thankfully all the technology out there makes getting victims survivors connected with assistance providers easier. But there are still those who are not very good with technology.
What is needed is more respect for guns and how much damage they can do to the human body. I do think we have become desensitized to this kind of violence. We need to wake up to how hard some survivors have dealing with all that.
Not sure if
John Wick kind of movies, video games, and the like play much of a part in desensitized people. Since so many people watch and love thee kind of movies but do not seem to feel a need for violence.
