How often exactly does that happen? At worst what we've seen so far is either the shooter goes to the "sensitive place" next door where carry is prohibited or if a good guy stops the shooter and is still holding a weapon when the cops roll up, the good guy gets killed on sight.

I'm curious about what inaccurate perceptions you think they're pushing and what their agenda is.
Is their agenda... preventing needless death?
Foundational assumptions about this debate. A political party that's half of a government that killed 20,000,000 civilians in other countries over the last century is trying to convince you that you'd be better off without the ability to arm yourself to defend against rapists and the second amendment never had anything to do with discouraging tyranny here.
The problem is normalization. The only-government-can-have-guns crowd pushes inaccurate perceptions to advance the agenda.
Black with a gun? Definitely get shot. White with a gun? Maybe get shot. Holding a gun at a place where someone did something with a gun? 110% you're getting shot.
This all while about 50% of Americans own guns. It's not like you simply assume every male is a rapist and kill them on sight just in case, or more accurately to my analogy charge every male within some distance of a rape occurring with a felony and put them on a list for life just to be safe.
Tool cabinets are a marvelous thing. I have a little thing squirreled away in a drawer of other tools, just the top of a box that a screen protector came in, that is just full of tiny specialized precision tools that I very seldom need.
WTF are people supposed to do? No way anyone's intervening to save you when it puts a target on their fucking back, and cops have zero duty to protect you.
Really dislike people pulling the "where was the good guy with the gun" card when someone who fights a gunman unarmed and wins still gets shot by the cops, and the cop goes away unscathed. Obscene that literally the only reason anything happened to him in this case was him blabbing racist shit.
Literally everyone else who gets emotional and misbehaves gets shot, or institutionalized, or at a bare minimum felonies that deprive them of certain rights for the rest of their lives.
Instead of giving him a tax payer funded handout this could have been an opportunity to fix a thing. Fuck that guy.
CS:GO is a valve title not EA. I was specifically referring to EA.That aside..
CS:GO was only a repackaging of CS expansion which itself was a repackaging of CS half-life mod from 1998.
Sure 14 years later the graphics engine was a little updated and there were new maps, but I played a lot of the original and after installing CS:GO I was supremely underwhelmed by the lack of change.
And I've been slowly replacing windows with Linux since the arrival of Windows 10.
It takes two looked great, but there are just so many games out there I still feel ok having missed it.
Mirrors edge was 2008.
It's okay to blacklist an entire publisher.
I haven't bought any games from EA at all since 2013 and know I missed nothing because it's all just reruns of the same game formula.
I think people are more annoyed because Netflix's tendencies lately are more like putting a gay character in a series based on a book where the character was sexually active and definitely straight. I'm really thinking about the last season of Witcher which took this to the extreme, that changed the protagonists and plot of a very good book transforming the series into something quite different only for the sake of fitting a politically desirable mold.
