If the constitution and State laws afford you the right to own a gun, then you better carry. It actually doesn't make sense not to have one given the level of seemingly sporadic violence in America.
A gun in your home is far more likely to lead to the harm of a family member than it is to protect a family member. A gun in your pocket is far more likely to lead to you getting shot in a mugging than to saving your life.
Why buy into this ridiculous American narrative that guns make us safer? Almost no one else in the developed world believes this shyt. Guns are offensive weapons, not defensive weapons. Their primary purpose is to escalate conflicts, not deescalate them.
These people gunning down innocents in such incidents are usually not legal carrying anyway. A responsible person should have the right to defend themselves from such people.
You are incredibly unlikely to be in a mass shooting. And less than 1 in 100 mass shootings are stopped by regular armed civilians.
Let's say because of this shooting, 10 million guns are sold to people who are now scary about getting shot. Maybe 1 of those guns will stop a mass shooting, tops. Meanwhile 1000 of them will be used to kill some other civilian in a moment of weakness, 2000 of them will be turned on the owner themselves in a moment of depression, and 100 of them will kill a family member in an accident.
The real problem is the access to fully auto and semi automatic high powered rifles. There should be an immediate ban on those.
There should be some serious restrictions but the same people blocking all the other gun laws are blocking this too.
that was a decade ago safe to say we're wayy past the point of no return in this country not sure where we go from here
