Talking about killing people is easy. Firing downrange at a black and white target is easy. Actually ending someone else's life is incredibly difficult, especially if you've never done it before.

Cops have practice that Civvies don't.

You sure? It's not that difficult. Remember... yamagami

Like, its a funny story to recount in the abstract, but that kid's life was irrevocably fucked the Unification Church. I do not envy what he had to go through to end up where he did.

Ok I see... just next time, if you're a bad shot in action, you might as well approach point blank quietly to aim and fire on your INTENDED target....

yeah i guess they never tell you how many times right wing mass shooters miss in the process, and their politics have the benefit of it not particularly mattering who they hit.
