Oklahoma man arrested during family game of Monopoly after he got angry and started shooting

Daily Mail, 11/28/2022

"John Ronald Dewayne Armstrong was arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after a round of the game erupted into an argument, with a table and the game's board being flipped in the process before he allegedly chased his stepsister and stepfather down the street while pointing his gun at them.

Officers with the Tulsa Police Department were called to a home near East Admiral Place and North Mingo Road around 6.30pm for reports of shots fired, according to KTUL.

Upon arrival, the officers learned that the family members had been drinking when the game turned violent, with Armstrong and his stepfather getting into a fight.

What kind of gun control would have stopped this?

@BeachGirl47 A ban on gun ownership.
The other problem is that some states allow a person to carry a concealed side arm on their person.

@justanothername but i saw video where a guy tried robbing a casier with a chefs knife and an ordinary guy in line pulled out a gun and stopped the guy from robbing the cashier. Held him there untill police arrived. So if the guydidnt havea gunthe cashiermay have been stabbed

@BeachGirl47 This is the stupidest argument ever.

Look at the UK and Austrailia, they both effectively banned gun ownership years ago, and guess what? Very few gun related deaths occur.

You will always have problems with knife crime, but a knife can't kill 50 people in a matter of seconds.
