Good guy with a gun syndrome (CEO shooting)

Only in this case it's a vigilante with a gun.

This is what happens when 450,000,000 privately owned firearms collides with a healthcare system that puts profits over people.

I mention this only to point out how many gunshot victims are saved by the technology and standards of care which the healthcare system delivers.

All those guns and all that ammunition in the hands of the public are truly lamentable and should be removed as a cause of death and injury in American society.

If we can’t get rid of this culture of guns violence, we might get affordable healthcare as a consequence?

that this year would mark the beginning of a return to normalcy, sanity, and civility in America. But I now fear that this two hundred year adventure in democracy is close to a state of being FUBAR. Historically, all great nations have had their proverbial "15 minutes" on the world stage and then, for one reason or another, faded into mediocrity. Yes, hope is still alive, but the flame is flickering very weakly. What transpires over the next few months will speak volumes.
