I've never, ever heard during a psychopathic rampage the psycho getting shot by a legal gun owner. Why is that, when so many people have the right to carry guns?

The theory that everyone has a right to carry a gun to defend themselves sounds great on paper but really doesn't work because it rarely ever happens that some gun owner shoots someone in a life / death situation.

Usually, innocent people get hurt or worse by some regular schmuck that couldn't deal with society anymore and when he snapped, loaded up his "legal" carry firearm and started popping shots in people.

That's why strict gun controls and laws work. So, few people want to take the time to learn how to handle firearms safely to get their permit and the 6-12mos. application process, they rather blow off steam drinking beer and getting into the occasional fist fight and go home.

Our "strict" gun legislation came into effect when that same thing happened here in Montreal, our government took the proper measures to ensure anyone who wants a firearm needs to go through strict training and application process to make sure people who own guns are stable minded people. It's just good common sense, and sometimes just because it's right doesn't mean it should be a privileged right for everybody.

Sent ya a PM.
