    So they’ve got the weakest gun laws, which often leads to more civilians with guns… but there wasn’t a “good guy with a gun” present in this situation capable of taking this guy down?

      from another thread:

      On average, the rate of a vigilante saving the day is one in 7,000. There’s no record of the number of shootings caused by bad vigilantes, though, so we don’t know if that 1:7000 is a net-positive.

        No, I’m saying that the right’s reason for lax gun laws doesn’t seem to mean shit, because even with the laws as lax as they are there, there still wasn’t anyone there to handle the situation. So maybe the laws being more strict would’ve kept the damn gun out of this nut’s hands.
