But we are currently experiencing an epidemic of violence, just mass shootings targeting proles and children.
Available data contradicts your claim: violent crime rates in the USA have decreased since the 1990s. You may HEAR about them more, but statistically you are safer now than you were 30 years ago in the USA. I think there’s more mass media and TikTok, so the news spreads further, but we are NOT in the middle of an epidemic, unless you consider it a 30 year one that started prior to 1990.
Exactly, so if that form of stochastic terror shifts into a form that exclusively targets the powerful, it’s a bet positive because that means they’ll have to actually do something about it

But there’s still a mass shooting basically every other week, I’m speaking specifically about that epidemic.
Then you are 100% correct, because mass shootings are trending up while other forms of violent crime are decreasing.
