I’m responding to Magiver in this thread so as not to continue the hijack in the other one.
Random people? Are you kidding? The shooter had previously attended that same school!
And further, I never said it would have “prevented” the attack. I talked about body count. Without a gun, it would have been harder for him to kill as many of the people he wanted to kill as he did.
Do you actually believe what you’re saying – that without guns, it’s just as easy to kill lots of people in a particular school? If that’s true, is it just as easy to hunt deer without guns? Defend one’s home? Is it just as easy to win wars? Are guns the best tool for any situation, or are they always easily replaceable?
