Are there no fire extinguishers, or sprinklers in this studio? Usually commercial spaces have countermeasures for fire hazards.
Sprinklers are not for putting out fire. They are for containing a fire long enough to get people out. Western laws and codes are for LIFE safety. Most commercial spaces are good for 60 minutes after a fire starts - 60 min has been studied to be long enough to get everyone out safely. Hospitals, high-rises, and large buildings are different.
The Oklahoma bombing in the late 1990’s. Two local terrorist made a bomb using fertilizer and other elements, killed a lot of people.

Imagine someone with McVeighs track record of military service had applied for and started a job driving 10,000 gallon gasoline trucks as well?
For the more mundane villains with workplace beefs, mental illness etc. the access to guns can be refused but that still leaves open the rental truck or arson options.
That really carves the gun violence issue up into what's left and most of that is either gangs\drugs or domestic situations often with gang\drug implications.
Not sure gleeful that is happened is accurate, but rather we have a number of anti-science people that claim that they can stop mass killings if we just got rid of the guns. (Hijacking a real problem with a fake solution that meets other goals, a particularily vile practice in the US.)
Well, arson and the box-truck attacks of recent years (among others) clearly refute that.
I look at the current situation in the western US and we BOTH know the kind of horror that could be done without a single bullet.
The Japanese don’t want a massively armed society. Who are we to argue about it?
