Re:Nothing shocking about it. (Score 1)

I would rather argue that people will murder even without guns.

That's certainly true, but beside the point. My argument is that by allowing people to carry guns you are only making it easier for people to kill other people. You aren't helping them or improving their lives in any other way (as is the case with say allowing people to drive cars even though more people die in car accidents than school shootings). Of course hunting is indeed an exception, but only a minor one and we're not just talking about hunting rifles.

You are saying a home made bomb would probably be worse. That's probably true but a home made bomb is also much more difficult to get a hold of than a gun (at least so it seems is the case in the US). Keeping guns in schools to prevent angry teenagers from blowing them up seems to me like sinking a ship to prevent it from catching a fire.
