Anyone who's interested check out a Sam Harris podcast called riddle of the gun
He makes some pretty convincing arguments on why getting rid of guns would be a bad idea
Some of his arguments include that mass shootings make up about 01% of homicides in America
Another thing to consider is that any attempt at gun confiscation would most likely result in civil war
I also agree with Harris on the point that we need more thorough vetting and a license to carry a firearm should require extensive training

Yeah that's a good point
You remember a couple years ago a teacher in France got his head chopped off or drawing a cartoon of Muhammad?
France is on the verge of civil war because hey particular demographic of people migrate there and cause acts of violence. An armed guard at the school could have prevented that

The saying is true, a gun doesn't automatically choose who to shoot.
see people decide who they are going to kill, some one may decide to pick up a gun and shoot someone or a group of people but on the same side you can kill people with out a gun, poisoning or hanging or stabbing......
The only way to determine the threat of a weapon is to know what the beliefs and convictions of the person holding it is.
Besides shootings are only one use of a gun,
what about target shooting on a range for fun?
What about the farmer who uses it to keep dangerous animals away from his live stock?
What about the sharpshooter who shoots the criminal who is holding people as hostages??
Their is no one sided answer or simple answer. Every person and every situation has to be judged on its own merit
