You think this is the first horrible story I've ever heard? I've also heard plenty of stories about men and women who have shot their spouses and children with their own legally owned firearms. I've also read that most guns used in the commission of crimes come from friends and family members. In other words - legal gun owners. How does your theory of "more guns carried by more people" work towards solving those problems?
Believe it or not, dk, some of us don't own guns because we simply don't want to own guns. *gasp*
