You know? Your use of this tragedy really chaps my ass
Even if the story is 100% accurate as reported in the OP, I can't see how blaming the guns makes any sense. By the way, if the wild west shoot 'em up cowboys citizens that may or may not have shot anybody probably SAVED SOMEONE'S LIFE!! I mean...the guy did pull out a gun at a store whatdyathink he's gonna pay for sh*t with it or is he gonna shoot somebody:

I have to laugh at this thread! We clearly see that the OP, as well as those who posted their biased remarks just can't seem to grasp the concept of self defense? The 2nd Amendment as written by the founding fathers, implemented this right so " we the people " could in fact defend our selves.
FACT: Guns are inanimate objects. FACT: Guns are in fact based off the hands of the beholder.
With most of you peoples logic, guns float around killing anything that moves. Just goes to show, not only how biased people are ( probably because they cant afford there own gun to begin with ), but it also shows how uneducated they are as well!

One question: How many of those people who were carrying guns had a Concealed Carry license? But I have a feeling answering that simple question might topple the bias of the OP.

To most of those on this thread, their logic suggests that the tarnished few, or " crazies " in the world, ...because of their actions should negate the rest of publics rights.
Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Regardless of accidents or all out shoot outs, what part of " shall not be infringed " don't these people get?
It's not a gun problem, its an idiot problem!

Put your bullet back in your pocket Barney you don't need to "protect" me.
Do you remember when the doors were left unlocked? Do you remember when the overwhelming majority of people (even in poor neighborhoods) did not carry guns? I do. The fear is not relieved with guns. The fear seems to be the real problem. Fear and maybe the promise of safety issued from the barrel of a gun. The US has more people in prison than any other country in the world. See what I mean it's out of whack and I don't think the problem is the hardware.
The Minigun is a 7.62 mm, multi-barrel machine gun with a high rate of fire (2,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute), employing Gatling-style rotating barrels with an external power source.
