As awful as Connecticut was it is still just high profile. Many more die every year. Does it even matter if the deaths come from guns? That is only looking at part of the picture. I am appalled by the accidental shootings killing children.
Too bad nobody in that building was carrying a gun. I bet the killer would have thought twice if he suspected they were. :faint:
So, are you suggesting if only no one in the building had been armed the perp would not have shot anyone? Or are you suggesting that if no one in the building had been armed, no one would have been hurt? :faint:
Completely serious. These maniacs have a death wish. I don't think that arming teachers will deter a crazy killer. Or adding guards. It may seem like a good idea until one of the armed teachers or guards snaps and becomes a crazy killer. Or they miss their intended target and kill a kid or get targeted themselves by law enforcement when they show up. I s'pose we might find out soon enough when eventually a crazy killer is taken down by a citizen or teacher with a CCW. I give it 6 months until the next crazy killer shows up on the news trying to top the last crazy killer.
Do you think the guy that grabbed the weapon in the cop shop and started shooting thought he was gonna get out alive?
