wow... what could possibly go wrong with that plan?
I have to say, giving the number of "5 year old kid dragged off in handcuffs" stories I have been recently, this doesnt seem a very godo solution.
Maybe this might sound crazy... but maybe REDUCING the number of guns available and making it harder for people to arm themselves might reduce gun violence, rather than arming everybody up.
As for the McDonald's guy... I'd rather be robbed than kill two people. But the fact it was company property just makes his actions even more difficult to understand... maybe I dont know the whole background and the robbers were threatening to take hostages or something... but if someone just pulls a gun and says "empty the register and the safe" I think it would take a very dangerous and unpredictable person to start shooting... why not just let them take the cash?
And yes, if you outlaw firearms only the outlaws have them... but a lot less people get shot.
