Okay people, obviously using powerball was a bad example. Please reference my lightning in a bottle tidbit I said before that which everyone is ignoring.
Since everyone is so big on statistics, I wish I could manufacture the number of "public events' involving 50 or more people that occur in the United States in one year, and match that up with the amount of mass shooting incidents. I don't have those numbers, but is anyone here going to argue that that percentage is going to be anything larger than infinitesimally small?
It is quite clear that mass shooting have taken a dramatic step up in recent years and I'd love to see some gun control action taken, but is it to the point where we should be fearful of going to public events or even avoid going to any public event as some people hinted earlier in this topic? I don't think we are quite there yet.
But I do have sympathy for the victims and their families.
Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest.
