"Any is too many" - obviously we don't want anyone murdered, but good luck doing anything to completely stop that. People kill for any number of reasons, it's happened since the beginning of time. Someone says something under his breath and gets killed waiting in a fast food line by somebody they've never met before. A jealous ex-lover shows up at a party and stabs their ex to death. A calculating spouse poisons their SO to collect insurance money. A soldier sees someone wearing the enemy uniform and shoots. Someone goes off the deep end and shoots up a music festival and kills 58 people in a matter of minutes. A troubled teen goes into a school and kills dozens of kindergarteners in their classrooms. All those are tragedies and seemingly daily occurrences, but the low-hanging fruit here is quantity. Saving more people in less amount of time is better. Utopia can wait, people need helped now.
