You can't die before your death
Yeah a knife is as fast as efficient as a gun. No man. It is not. He could have defended himself against a knife or ran or survive until help arrive.

Ah....you must be pleasant to be around. Ugh. I didn't say that based on gaming habits....not sure why you got offended. All good if you don't agree. I understand that reality is a lot more dynamic — you're not necessarily wrong about that specific scenario when someone can blindside you (visibility of that person totally changes that mind you) but I am not wrong about what I said either. It entirely depends on the situation the person finds themselves in but with a knife, specially when that person is visible to you, you have a better chance compared with to a gun.

It really isn’t though. There are over 300 million people and probably 400+ Million firearms.
It is extremely rare.

If his friend didn’t get pissed and escalate the situation maybe he wouldn’t have felt the need to shoot him?
I think it was a bad shoot anyways but not because he simply “had the gun on his desk”. He is well within his rights to do that. He is within his rights to hold it. But he messed up at least two times. Saying his friend was going to get shot. Fired a warning shot and possibly entering the house with bad intentions.
On the flip side if he didn’t do any of that stayed at his desk and his friend came and threatened violence it would have been clear self defense.
Part of self defense is deescalation. The last resort is lethal force.
