Agreed. All this proves is that not enough would-be victims are armed yet. We’ll know we’re making progress when rampages like this end abruptly with few casualties or no casualties other than the murderous nuts themselves, gunned down by well-armed ordinary Joes or Jills packing heat.

So you know that his victims weren’t armed. We know that at least one of the wounded was indeed an armed police officer.

You are right. Potential victims should ARM THEMSELVES NOW. NRA and other 2nd Amendment advocates should be running an ad campaign blitz for open carry for self defense? Preemptive strike! You know the libs are coming anyway! Eric Holder's staff is working overtime on his. "This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!" -Adolph Hitler, 1935 "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty, teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizens' firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that's good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour." - George Washington's address to the second session of the First U.S. Congress.

If they outlaw firearms, we can buy in South America and sneak it all over the border. That’s assuming that the Obama administration will be able to tell the difference between a natural born citizen and an illegal.
