one guy gets shot and now all attorneys should carry guns.
when scores of regular peons die from crime, they say we all need to be disarmed.
Your post reminds me of a quote from the
Dark Knight -
"You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!"
The person or persons who wrote the script for that show are quite perceptive.
