Fun, at the expense of the people I was talking about. Maybe I am too cranky, but it seems really frivolous and thoughtless. Given all the mass shootings at retailers, it seems like it could cause too many people anxiety or other distress to be worth it.

The game was in Scotland not America. The rest of the world isn't afraid of being shot when they go to ikea.

Fun is not a zero-sum game, thankfully
