Odds don't mean shit when you win the die in a fireball lottery. Odds are zero if you don't play.
Says the one who hasn't yet had an aeroplane crash into their house
The way that airline safety is positioned has always annoyed me. Back in the day they used to say, "Your odds of dying in a car crash are greater than dying in a plane crash." That statement never sat right with me because while the aggregate number of casualties is greater for car crashes than airline crashes, it doesn't address the survivability for the passengers of a single incident.
I forget the statistics, but depending on the type of car crash, passenger seat position mattered in a car, with higher mortality rates for the driver's side vs passenger side, and higher mortality for front seat vs back seat.
Now what about a single airplane crash? It doesn't matter if you are seated in first class, business class, economy, the flight deck, or in the cargo hold. Survivability rates for the entire plane are low for the entire plane in the event of a crash.
Yes, planes have less incidents compared to cars, but if a plane has a problem, it's going to be a big problem for everyone on board.

wouldn't that achieve the opposite?
No. We can change it to waaaaay way way lower chances.
The handguns are free with purchase of a flight ticket
Would there be more or less mass shootings if literally every adult had a gun
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.
Yeehar bullets all the way down
FAA funding cuts: hold my beer. 🍺
In USA this is not much comfort, shootings every hour and shit
