Suddenly working from home, streaming all my movies, getting my groceries delivered and having no social life becomes the winning strategy.

I live in a constitutional carry state and exrecise that right daily. Me? No worries. I'm also very bad at reading signs, so I'm sorry if I missed that "gun free zone" sign in the window. Civil rights protester and firework throwing activist didn't read it either.

okay, the pure statistical probability of it happening anywhere but the States is low enough that I think the average non-US citizen straight up doesn't worry about it.

I was in Vegas during the Vegas shooting. Not at the concert but at the bottom of the strip and remember the fear everywhere that night and the days after.

Not a fan of crowded places anyway but that made me become even more aware of keeping track of surroundings and exits and stuff.

I voted somewhat. It's not something I worry about all the time, but I have done stuff like gotten off of subway cars before when I notice someone acting weird. And there have been a few times where people were also acting weird in movie theaters, getting up and walking around during the movie, which put me on edge. At this point it's probably going to be a concern that's lodged in my subconscious for the foreseeable future.

Not that much because I typically avoid massively crowded areas, which unfortunately seem to be where the shooters (domestic terrorists) target. With that said, my city is probably 5x over capacity and basically going anywhere means youve got people standing on top of you sweating you to hurry up. So, yeah. Basically everywhere here is crowded these days, especially since everywhere kept their pandemic hours and you cant do night shopping anymore.

There was a massive shooting less than an hour from where I live in a grocery store during the pandemic. Everyone asked why the shooter chose the king soopers. Go inside a king soopers in Colorado and you will see that theyre SO packed that you can barely move.

Its time that the government did something about these guns and its time that they force these stores to start opening back up at night so that the entire city doesnt have to shop at the same time. Reduce crowds. Its not rocket science. Between the pandemic and the shootings, you reduce crowds. Yes, corporate paychecks might shrink a fraction of a percentage point, but you pay the workers to keep the store open.

Somewhat
Not really, doesn't seem probable

Somewhere between these two answers. There was a shooting outside the Indianapolis International Airport which I use an average of three times a year and just the other day at the Greenwood Park Mall which I frequent.

I tried to go to the Barnes & Noble outside the mall yesterday. Instead of having a sign posted in the door stating that they were closed, they wrapped a copy of the newspaper around the long door handle.

I mean.... honestly, no. As cavalier of an attitude as it may be, but I almost view mass shootings as akin to car accidents. They happen, and they could happen to you even if you're just doing absolutely nothing, but worrying over it isn't really accomplishing anything and my overall behavior patterns haven't changed.

Doesn't mean that mass shootings aren't a tragedy, that we shouldn't do anything to try to prevent them, or that I don't have scary thoughts from time to time about my kids especially, but from a personal standpoint I'm not spending much time being concerned for our personal safety.

I live in a state near the bottom of the mass shooting totals list, near the bottom in terms of shootings in general, and almost never leave my house.

My odds of being involved in a shooting are near zero.

An out-of-shape and untrained person who's under the delusion that owning a gun will immediately turn them into John McClane and they'll be able to stop a mass shooting before it begins instead of making the situation worse by adding a second idiot firing a gun to the equation.

I don't think it's likely to be caught in a mass shooting, but there has been a huge uptick in things like gang related shootings and road rage shootings which has me more worried than I've ever been. It's becoming a daily occurrence around here.

It means he thinks that because he caught the original variant way back in 2020, he's got perfect eternal immunity to all variants.

Or in simpler terms, it means he doesn't have a fucking clue what he's on about.
