Shooting at a Rhode Island hockey rink leaves 3 dead, including shooter

Authorities say a shooting during a Rhode Island youth hockey game has left three people dead, including the shooter. Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said Monday night that three more victims remained hospitalized in critical condition. Authorities say they believe the shooting was a targeted attack stemming from a family dispute. The shooting occurred at Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, a few miles outside Providence. Goncalves says someone had helped end the violent scene Monday afternoon by intervening and trying to subdue the shooter, who was at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena to watch a family member’s game.

I have feelings. First: I disagree with many of the things Charlie Kirk has said and done. Second: Charlie Kirk absolutely deserves to be alive. This is a tragedy for (especially) his family, and for all of his friends, or those who respect him. Third: there are people in the world who will or plan to do evil. Some of those people are mentally ill, some are just evil people. I have no doubt that whoever did this fits into one of those categories. Fourth: guns are force multipliers. Guns make bad people vastly worse. It makes their bad acts vastly worse. Fifth: lots of bad people have guns; and these bad people ignore all laws. They possess guns illegally, they use them for illegal acts, they take them to places where it is illegal to take them. Sixth: because they ignore the law, new laws are not going to stop them from having or using guns. Seventh: one attractive target zone for these people is "gun free zones" -- because there, they know they will face no opposition. Therefore, the more gun free zones there are, the more places for bad people to do bad things. The people who might otherwise have stopped them, can't! Because these people **do** obey the law, if they are in a gun free zone, they are gun free.

Everything I just said is horrible. The underlying problem is: there are bad people with guns and we're not doing anything to make there be fewer bad people, to recognize when particularly bad people are about to do bad things, or somehow keeping guns out of the hands of bad people. I don't know good answers to any of these problems.

I **do** know that some of the things we are doing that we **think** will fix these problems actually do the exact opposite. Adding more laws and gun free zones which impact only law abiding citizens just makes things worse.
