35. lol this again
You all can't seem to get enough of this bad analogy.

A car is not like a gun. A car has other purposes besides running children over. Some might even suggest that killing people is NOT REALLY one of the intended functions of a car. This can't be said about guns. The primary function that guns serve is to put holes in things, and one of its intended functions is to put holes in people.

This individual was not a "good driver." He is more akin to the speeding lunatic putting his desire to go real fast ahead of other people's desire not to be killed. He didn't kill anyone (yet) but he certainly engaged in risky behavior that could easily have led to a disaster. We can now expect to see lots of copycats carrying their semiautomatic rifles in enclosed public spaces.

But it is interesting to see that you have no problem at all with an obviously nutty and stupid individual walking around a mall with a shoulder cannon. Free-dumb!
