These type of mobs are an excellent answer to gun-grabbers who cry, “Why would anyone need a magazie that can hold (30, 10, 7, 2) rounds?”
They can also be used to show how ridiculous it is to think we should prevent violence by disarming law abiding citizens. Should cell phones be banned because gangs of thugs are abusing them in this manner?
That said, I wonder how many of these “flash mobs” are really organized through text messages, as opposed to just being started by a bunch of thugs gathering in their normal hangout spots.
In theory, yes. In practice, one shotgun blast should be sufficient for instant dispersal. :)
