Regular people watch hollywood movies of people shooting at each other for 20-30 minutes in each film, firing 10x the number of rounds that any magazine even holds, and of course, the bad guys miss the good guy even when they are 15 feet away and using semi automatic or sometimes automatic weaponry

This has created a derangement in the minds of regular people who don't have any exposure to guns or gun culture, either 2A people or professional security / policing people who use guns for a living.

This derangement normalizes some kind of false 'safety' around guns, they think guns aren't that dangerous because they've seen their action heros dodge bullets.

They no longer understand the difference between reality and fantasy, and this emboldens them to quickly get a gun, with no gun safety course, and no range experience, and when they pull it out of their hip holser thinking they are john wayne, they blast a hole through their leg and never walk again the same way if they don' tbleed out and die by their own unexperienced hand. This could also happen to a pro btw, but not often. Accidents happen and guns are SO FUCKING DANGEROUS!

You ultimately have a situation where the left--the anti gun people--suddenly 'believe' they 'need' a gun and their 2A rights to fight a tyrannical government, and so they rush out and hurt themselves, others, and act VERY CAVALIER around POLICE.

The "kid gloves" approach that police are giving them IS NOT HELPING. It's emboldening them to bring MORE guns and act MORE violently towards police.

IF you brought in an overwhelming ICE / police force and just started beating and bopping and ziptying people and paddywagoning them away, eventually this rioting would be dealt with.
