United Healthcare CEO fatally shot

I don't know much about Brian Thompson and there's no info yet on the shooter or his/her motives (this person has yet to be captured) but this is fucked up. I fully support gun ownership but we do need to address gun violence which I have always believed is a symptom of the much larger mental crisis problem in this country.

it's hard to talk about solutions that could potentially have kept this from happening without knowing who the shooter is, and thus knowing nothing about their history or mental issues etc. but it is tragic regardless.

Agree. This might not be related to mental health at all but shouldn't have happened. I feel terrible for this mans family.

Billy Balls called Jimmy Smalls, whacked the poor schlub in broad daylight.

Best guess is this guy felt deeply disaffected by the Healthcare company and lost his mother or a loved one because they couldn't afford whatever lifesaving procedure was needed and someone died because of it.
But a total guess.

Conceal carry for all will solve a lot of problems.
You are also 19x more likely to be stabbed to death than killed with a gun. We have a serious utensil problem in this country.

I wouldn't trust most people to even tie their shoes properly, but lets give them all hidden little secret harbingers of death.

Not sure if you noticed, but the majority of mass shootings are committed by people who obtain guns illegally and commit the crimes in areas where guns are strictly prohibited.

the hell where any idiot can hide a gun on their person in public. someone sees a shooter or potential shooter and fires at them. panic ensues. more idiots pull their gun to fire. that would be just one such version of hell.

If that were to happen, you wouldn't want the teachers trained and packing, even a little 6 shooter? School shootings are a big problem.

Luckily when you register for a gun they generally don't allow "any idiot" to own a gun. Luckily too, the states with the least strict gun laws have the least amount of gun crime. Pretty easy pattern to follow for safety imo.

Exactly. So if a teacher is a registered gun owner, he or she should be allowed to conceal their weapon at school in the event of a school shooting...
