Or if the average doctor was killing people with guns .
Are you just one of those folks that are gunophobic?

this story reminds me of the whole Iraq situation.The U.S. gets rid of saddam and look at the mess over there now.Some people need to be ruled with an iron fist because they don`t know how to act responsibly when they are given more freedom.

Sadly, that is a terrific point.
Coming from a "free" society, we think others want freedom as well, but they really don't, they want to be ruled.
Go humans!!

Or, they could make murder illegal. I don't understand why the govt can't just pass some laws to stop people killing each other! Seems kind of simple.
Maybe the good citizens of B'More need to be educated on the law.

If they make murder illegal, only criminals will commit murder-. . . . . wait, what?
Lol, I just spit out Kentucky bourbon.... Shakes fist, Monday at work, I'm not going to pet the rabbits now, see what kind of pain you just caused.
I don't need to hold them and stroke their ultra soft fur, or look at the cute little bastardizations they are.
OK, I'm still going to pet them, but I will be doing it begrudgingly.
See what you have done?
So then because a tiny fraction of people can't properly utilize a tool, nobody should be able to have one?

We actually have pretty decent gun laws in Detroit.
It's open carry.
Women get free classes for their CPL all over the place.
A CPL class runs about $250 for men and lasts around 8 hours.
Over 21 with no felonies and no bond required for a CPL now.
*CPL = Concealed Pistol License
