However there is this as a data point:Shortly after 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, police officers in Upper Macungie Township in Pennsylvania responded to a call about a man in cardiac arrest, only to find an even more frightening scene: the young man lying in his house with a 15-foot snake coiled around his throat. As Fox29 reported, the middle of the snake was wrapped around the neck of the 28-year-old victim, giving officers access to the animal’s head. According to Lieutenant Peter Nickischer, one officer was able to shoot the slithery assailant in the head and pull the victim to safety. The victim received emergency medical treatment from the officers and was taken to the hospital in an unknown condition. Authorities said that the snake was a pet and that officers found multiple other snake enclosures in the man’s home. “One of the officers described it as ‘right out of a horror movie,’” Nickischer said.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

That snake story from Upper Macungie pretty much confirms the, “when all you have is a hammer…” hypothesis of gun ownership.

Another Good Guy with a Gun
Just for Bobby:
A New York corrections officer has been charged in the killing of a Bronx teen, who was shot in the face in an incident where a toy gun featured in a recent TikTok trend may have played a role in his death.
Raymond Chaluisant, 18, was found unconscious and unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the face from a weapon fired by Dion Middleton, who was off duty, in the Bronx near the intersection of the Cross Bronx Expressway and Morris Avenue at around 1:35 a.m. Thursday, a New York Police Department spokesperson told The Washington Post.
After police found him in a friend’s car about a half-mile away from the scene of the shooting, Chaluisant was transferred to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Middleton, 45, was arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
A spokesperson with the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, the union that represents him, did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Friday. It’s unclear whether Middleton has an attorney.
There was no evidence as of early Friday that Chaluisant fired or aimed the toy gun at Middleton before the corrections officer shot and killed the teen, authorities said.
Chaluisant’s older sister, Jiraida Esquilin, told the New York Daily News that her brother was taking part in a water-gun fight with some friends on a hot summer night.
“They were just having fun,” said Esquilin, 29. “It’s a new nerf gun that shoots water. The whole neighborhood was having a water gun fight. It was 90 degrees.”
The amped-up toy water guns have been popular in recent months thanks to the “Orbeez Challenge” on TikTok, which encourages users to buy Orbeez soft gel or water balls, load them in airsoft guns and fire them at people when they least expect it. Some of the videos posted on TikTok and YouTube since the spring, which have gotten millions of views, show young people firing the toy guns from moving vehicles.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Ya, no comment and taking the 5th here. High school graduation summer a friend of mine modified his windshield washer pump to shoot water out of the front of his Chevy Chevette. He'd cruise around parking lots spraying random people. They usually just acted confused and looked up at the sky.. But I do recall being in the car with him more than once when we got chased by some angry giant dude.. These days, no just no.. Good way to get shot..

These TikToc Orbeez, Airsoft, etc challenges make me long for the simpler days of yore when kids just ate laundry detergent.

Suggesting a hospital, or whatever, needs to be prepared for an active shooter, or may need armed security guards, does not mean you want to live like that.

It doesn’t make you a gun nut to suggest more security someplace essential.

Curious - does any other 1st world nation (pending) have on-going issues with mass shooter events at hospitals?

Is my sarcasm meter not working, or are you overlooking the small detail that you linked to an article in one of the biggest newspapers in the country?
