Are you aware of how horrible the accuracy was of those muskets?
Those are some pretty pictures ya got there. Your ignorance (or perhaps deception) of the situation at the Tuscon shooting is hilarious. Yes, the man who stopped the shooter (possibly multiple people) had a gun, but it didn't do anyone any good. He didn't want to fire it because there was only one shooter, and many civilians, and he didn't want to... miss. The shooter was stopped when the man and a couple of other unarmed civilians tackled the man to the ground when he stopped to reload. The gun helped no one.
Regardless, you're pretty much the only other person here at this point. It's obvious that you're dead-set in your opinion that we'd all be a lot safer if everyone in the country was carrying a concealed weapon. I do not share your opinion.
