that's a batshit idea.
any argument that you could possibly make for it simply treats the arbitrary (today's massacre) as necessary and proceeds from there to stand rational thinking on its head. i dont see any point in debating such a ridiculous position. it is not worth taking seriously.

why is that a 'batshit' idea roach? over 30 kids are dead, even though there was a law that was supposed to prevent someone from carrying a gun on campus!!!!!! I'm told that this 'shooter' killed himself at the first sign of someone with a gun, who happened to be a cop, now how many lives might not have been lost had this coward been confronted by another student with a gun?
why is it a batshit idea to defend yourself with a gun? even on campus? It certainly is NOT a ridiculous position after todays events.

Do you presume these horrific acts, that happen with such relative frequency in this country (as compared to other western countries) are the result of gun control?
Why dont you think the might be the result of the "gun culture" in this country, which would more reasonably explain why it occurs here and not elsewhere?

There are nearly 300 million people in this country and less than 5% of them commit crimes with guns.....how the hell is that a 'gun culture'?
