Personally, I would think that the more guns in the hands of people the more chance someone would get shot, rather than less. Arguably, someone might have stopped this guy halfway through his rampage - equally arguably, 3 other people might have flipped their lids prior to now and reacted with the weapon at hand and killed even more in some fit of violence or while fired up by something else.
I confess, I will never understand the extremist/fundamentalist viewpoint some people in the US have about "the right to bear arms". I find it a frightening thing. Perhaps that's the reaction some people crave.
