No. We can change it to waaaaay way way lower chances.

Would there be more or less mass shootings if literally every adult had a gun

[–] groet@feddit.org 1 points 18 minutes ago

100% certain it would be more. And I wager it would actually, be more than linear. Double the number if people with guns and you get more than double the number of mass shootings.

There would be more homicides in general and waaaaay more suicide.

Most people would probably do more harm than good trying to stop a mass shooting with their own gun.

Right. People with a gun in the house are more likely to be injured or killed by a gun, not less.

More until we reach convergence or critical mass and become singularity shooting.
