And conversely, if enough decent people were armed, there would be fewer of these incidents because of the consequences to the perpetrator. This is the first century where people put total trust in police to defend them; and accordingly one can never be safe in public.
The idea that the free availability of guns = safety and peace is a strange one.
It is not one that is supported in places in the world where this is now the case.
