The problem is people are not rational beings and tend to react immediatly to emotions.
A chap from my school year ( during those years ) got stood up by his girlfriend because she was entertaining her cousin, which was absolutely true.
Problem was he was an extreamly good looking cousin .
Terry went to the club for a beer & play pool, saw them together assumed he was lied to went home got his rifle went back to the club , shot her & him dead on the dance floor, shot a third person not fatally who stepped in to affer first aid, shot the security guard dead and then when fleeing shot one of the police who had arrived .
An over emotional 17 year old kid got 25 years , no parole 3 people died and 3 more were forever traumatised .
The big willers are the depressive farmers as rural suiside went down by over 80% once fire arms were restricted and in the case of farmers who are all allowed to own single shot firearms it is just the amount of time it takes to retrieve the fire arm from a locked cabinet then get the ammo which has to be in a locked container in a different room .
People see way too much US TV and think a bullet makes a cute little hole which gets a bit of blood around it .
In reality the 303 service rifle blew their heads apart at close range and splattered all the bystanders with blood & brain material
I was there but outside having a smoke at the time and many of the patrons never actually recovered from jst seeing what happened, including my then girlfrien who would never go the that club or any dance venuse ever again.
I went to her wedding and even then there was no dancing and that was near 20 years latter
