Just a few months ago someone was shot and killed in a road rage incident. And I seem to remember another shooting at a business a couple of years ago.
edit to add: Just found information on the other incident I was thinking about ... In 2010 Three people were killed and several others injured at a truck rental company in Kennesaw.

They plan on doing that when they leave home. The fact they shot themselves does not mean some yahoo

Yup. If everyone was armed, no crime. All shootings will be self-defense. The last one standing...

I said Columbine because even now, it seems to be considered the end-all-be-all shooting
