Yeah it does seem and is excessive but as another poster mentioned, the police down there must be under a lot of stress on a daily basis knowing so many people are armed. There’s also a lot of cops getting shot and killed almost daily.
Then there was the recent gun control bill, the biggest in 30 years by the sounds of it and still very minor, more background checks for younger people and mental health but still very insignificant in regards to overall reduction of guns. They’re going to have to somehow amend the second amendment if they want to actually want things to improve. The NRA was even against this latest bill so gives an idea of how difficult it is to actually get real changes and progress on gun violence and mass shootings.
