Once he had guns there was no way to prevent this...no law would have stopped it, no matter how many there were, or what the level of deterrence would be for breaking them.

A way to prevent a crazy man from getting a gun would have helped, though...clearly.

If only everyone had a gun and walked around with it loaded and pointed at the nearest person to you (who would also have a loaded one pointed at you) then we could prevent all gun violence.

As usual, however, besides the tragic and unnecessary deaths that occurred, violence will be done to any reasonable discussion of what to do about it...the two equally idiotic stances of "ban guns and no one will have them" and "make sure everyone has one so no one will ever use one" will be the prevailing arguments...both of which are equally stupid and wrong.

Fish on...
