I disagree. Yes, people killed people but its much harder to do this with your fists than with firearms. Elliott Rodger, you really think he could have killed several people without a gun?
Or the kids from columbine high school or Breivik?
You're reaching for straws now.
Elliot ? He killed small CHILDREN. So yes he could've killed several children without a gun.
The kids from Columbine had pipe bombs also, could've manufacture larger cluster of them and killed many.
Breivik - kids were stranded on an island with no escape, he could've killed several people with a knife, he was on a MISSION to murder as many as he could.
All these mass shooters intended to inflict as much pain and death as they can, guns don't matter.
Don't you get it, these guys pick soft targets that are easy to ensure mass death. You don't see mass shooters going to a police station and shooting it up, why ?
BECAUSE THEY CAN DEFEND THEMSELVES WITH WEAPONS.
You can ban all the guns in the world, people will still find a way to kill people.
If a person (mass shooter) knows that anyone could be carrying a concealed weapon, he's less likely to shoot, and would deter him.
You can rationalize all you want, but this world isn't singing peace on earth, some humans aren't the greatest people in the world.
Pray for the best, prepare for the worst.
