shut up the article doesn't even say if he was carrying legally or not.  If he had the gun on him illegally concealed weapons laws are moot.

That would make a big difference, now instead of the crazy guy shooting and a small chance of someone killing him before he kills 10 people, now its just the crazy guy, its not like people who are going out and shooting people like this care if that is illegal or not. How could you possibly think that would help anyone at all?

I thought he just went off and started killing people, anyway under this circumstance, the shooting was an accident because there was a fight over the gun. Sooooo......? I'm just saying that besides the random deusch bag guy, who shouldn't have been passed to have a gun in the first place, innocent people suffer more from not having concealed weapons, it just takes guns away from law abiding citizens not criminals, or this fucking idiot who attempted to pistol whip someone at a hippy fest. Seriously what the fuck is going on here, what kind of hippy has a gun?

Why should they be outlawed? The low percentage of dumbasses who use them wrong should ruin for the people that are carrying them for the exact opposite reason? My dad has his so we don't get freakin mugged or some shit. You can't fix stupid.

You have a better chance of getting mugged, and that gun being turned on you to kill you. Unless your dad is like a professionally trained police officer, then of course that does not apply.

So funny how all you peeps are trying to bash the kid who said this is a good example of why they should be illegal. Whether you think a concealed hand gun should be legal or not this is a GREAT example of why they shouldn’t be legal. The guy wouldn’t have had the gun there... there wouldn’t have been a dumb argument over it... then it wouldn’t have gone off and hit someone. Pretty simple I think.
