My condolences to the chef. I hope he's going OK.

No-one should have to worry about people bringing guns into your restaurant. They can't use them to eat, to pay or to socialise.

You know what we need here? More guns. That aught to fix things right up. Bang bang! Fixed.

If the chef also had a gun this wouldn't have happened!

Exactly! If every chopstick was actually a rifle then everyone would be safe.

...but the sweet and sour pork would have tasted shot.
