Thomas,

Nice to meet you.

You state: "I believe that limiting legal gun ownership would decrease the probabilities of such events happening. " [In regard to wackos who legally purchase a gun and then SNAP!]

I reply: You are correct. There probably would be less wackos who use a gun when the fall off the deep end. And then they'll go get a bag of fertilizer or a tank of gas and make a bomb and blow up a McDonald's instead of walking in with guns ablaze.

So what's next? Banning fertilizer?

There is no perfect solution. However, the number of violent acts that are PREVENTED because there is a gun in the house (at least in America) far outweighs the number of deaths at the hands of wackos by about 900,000 to 1.

Number-wise, banning guns just doesn't make sense, if your true motivation is to save lives.

- Adam.
