....the Darwin effect. Darn shame that innocents are involved so often.

So good guy and bad guy shoot it out, both die and you are suggesting the outcome is a good one.

Good on ya!

They don't give you enough information to determine fault. People with legal guns just shot each other, because even though they were legal that's what people with guns eventually do.

This reminds me of how retailers don't give you equivalent specs on competing brands. They say one shot first, and elsewhere you're told their names, and that one was tailing the other, but it never comes together.

The article slick linked may be written with the purpose of serving the narrative he is leaning to. I read a report on it when it first hit that described the driver in front having pulled off the road to let the tailgater pass but the tailgater followed him and confrontation occurred.

Regardless of the level of aggression by both drivers, the first one broke no law, nor posed any threat, nor created a need for anyone to use self defense by pulling off the road.
The guy that chose to not drive on by and instead followed the other driver, stopped at the other drivers vehicle and stepped out of his own did pose a threat and (with the benefit of hindsight) created a self defense scenario for sure and once he fired a shot he would be guilty of a crime because you can't instigate, or enter into, willful combat and then have a right to self defense.

No matter how bad a driver or how much of an a-hole the driver in front was there was no need for any gunplay until the second driver created it....

Yea, social Darwinism is awesome when some “idiot” kills himself or another gun toting “idiot” but when a 6 week old baby falls out of a high rise window because the parent was too stupid to take precautions…it’s a tragedy.
