That doesn't make any sense to me. But none of this does. It's irrational, and as a generally rational person, irrational acts are literally incomprehensible to me. (Personally, I think all acts of violence are irrational.)
All gun violence, and threats of it, is about power, whether it’s done by an angry spouse, a kid with a tribal grudge, a dress-up GI Joe in a statehouse or a Starbucks, or a scared/incompetent/racist cop. We rightly freak out over mass killings, but mostly people die one at a time, dispersed through the day, the weeks, the months, the years, a steady drip drip drip that never ends.
Cowardice is what drives anyone to kill children or anyone else who is defenseless and unarmed.

Guns are empowering. Sociopaths are narcissistic and desire to have power and dominate others. They make a lovely marriage.
Yeah, death is a daily occurrence. But it's a part of life and it impacts individuals greatly.
