There's been 20 since 1966 until columbine in '99 ffs. It seems like since the 90s shoot-outs have been happening like crazy. This is of course, if Wikipedia isn't full of shit
SUMMARY EDIT: In the last 9 years there's been 4 more shoot-outs than in an entire 33 before that.
Scandanavian War Machine:
it's worse than i thought.
damn.
0bsessions:
The thing you guys aren't taking into account: It's a lot easier to get a hold of a gun nowadays than it was way back when.
The nutcase factor hasn't gone up, just the population and the gun total.
Scandanavian War Machine:
i kind of thought that went without saying. i mean, it's pretty obvious that we're all just as crazy as ever, we just happen to have more access to destruction-causing machinery.
Gemmwah:
Five people pronounced dead.
