I have been every level of drunk possible, and I’ve never wanted to murder someone. Why would you even need a gun at a wedding?
Count yourself lucky. Some of us (including me) are belligerent drunks. It's one of many reasons I cut myself off at two drinks, on the rare occasions when I drink at all. Though in my case, it was more about getting in fights rather than shooting people. That's one benefit of not owning a gun.
They are Americans. They need guns for everything. Weddings, nightclubs, schools, etc. It's just part of their culture.
I don't share your love of mankind there. I would, ... nevermind.
It's not you or I at this wedding, but gangsters and yahoos. I have never brought a gun to a wedding either, because I'm not an asshole. But many people if insulted, especially if drunk, will go into the trunks of their car for their heater and use it.
It's stupid, but that is where we are at, for like 4 decades minimum. We are a fucking dumb society.
A question is whether it is by design or not, it is. By design, to justify a police state.
