Maybe it is not realistic that people are able to distinguish it as entertainment and not a possible course for them act upon (Cmon, since when did an Uzi have more than
32 rounds loaded at once? And the two pistols having more than 20 rounds?)?
I don't know, though I do have some suspicions that it is still the government assistances available that plays a dominant, if not major part on the ills and vices prevalent within the society - I know for sure that over here, the number of hardcore gamblers are increasing despite the casino entry costs due to the shortage of gambling-prevention counsellors. Over in US, the easy availability of firearms, coupled with the lack of funding for mental health treatment, resulted in all these shootings.
