It makes you wonder if there is a difference between armed big city gangs (handguns concealable on their person) and other areas where vehicles are more readily in use... and subsequently more less concealable AR type pistols and rifles are more common(?)To me it seemed to be rivals discovering they were both at the same gas station and getting into a gun battle.
Bystanders appeared to be at risk only from the wildly inaccurate gunfire. But what shocked me was how heavily armed they were. It used to be that such situations tended to involve handguns and shotguns. I experienced a couple of drive-by shootings back in the 80's. There's a big difference between an idiot firing off a couple of buckshot rounds as they drive by and what's in that video. The thugs are better armed now, clearly. Fortunately, they still shoot just as poorly.
I had a family member hit during a drive by with an sks. The guy was picked up several days later in a traffic stop with it concealed in the backseat of his vehicle. More like it was SOP for him rather than only taking it along for hits. If it can be readily available, it kinda makes sense they'll use as much firepower as they can get away with(?)
