Aside from just reporting the story however (which I assume American users know about already), I wondered what your opinions were regarding gun laws. It's impossible to deny that the chances of such a tragedy happening would be reduced if ownership of a gun is illegal without a license (assuming these licenses were very difficult to get, and wouldn't allow a civilian to carry one in public). Is the idea of possessing a gun an outdated idea, or is it still significant in the mo |
You've probably never shot an assualt rifle in you life and you are calling for a gun ban. I'm a law abiding citizen, I would never do this. But if I was in the movie with my concealed carry, that guy would have been dead as soon as the first shot was fired. And yes, to get a concealed carry you have to pass a test and go to classes. The only ones who abide by a gun ban are law abiding citizens. What would happen is more stuff like this where nobody can protect themselves.
