Well all them gunners were not criminals prior. They even have flawless records to purchase them guns.
So this whole idea of criminals having guns n the public doesn't is flawed. I'm more scared of the non criminals with guns. They are the sleeper, the quiet ones that are more fawked up when they strike.
Ever heard of the saying, a dog that barks don't bite but watch out for the dog that sneak attack you from the side.
let me shed some light...legall
y owned guns used in crimes are far less than those that are illegal used in crime everyday. the vegas shooting, to the orlando (pulse night club) and most recent, parkland school (legally owned guns)...those are incomparable to the gun deaths every day caused by criminals with illegal guns. take chicago for example, 355 shootings up to date, just in 2018 (81 of them homicides)...do you think these were cause by good people? you ban guns and we would be lucky to get pistol whipped instead of getting shot.
mass shooting is like a forest fire...you fight fire with fire. when it happens, you take the path of the fire and burn towards the flame, that will save what is left behind you. just as you can't save everyone in a mass shooting but you can hopefully save/prevent more deaths. the only way to do that is not with your ninja skills but also with a gun.
a person with a gun that has no criminal intent will not shoot you unless he's defending himself or YOU, in case sh!t happens.
