I think STC's revelation goes a long way towards illustrating why arming everyone, or even allowing voluntary concealed weapons carrying, would be a tragic mistake among the human type.
And Coaster Matt may be right about psych treatment being more effective than gun restrictions, and neither being very effective at all. Neither would likely have prevented this particular incident, but it remains true that Cho purchased and used guns and ammo clips previously covered under the expired assault weapons ban.
Saying he would have gotten the stuff illegally, or simply reloaded more slowly is kinda changing the subject. The single life such a difference in his killing capacity might have saved is of paramount importance ... if it's your own, or your son's or daughter's.
