Asking for more sorrow

As an Englishman I am not accustomed to the "right to carry guns", though "carrying guns" is slowly growing in the UK. But to defend the right to carry arms is only promoting the right to murder isn't it?
Its is getting like the chicken and the egg, where someone has to accept responsibility for the acts of their fellow countrymen, men who kill for no reason.
It remind me of the song by the "Boomtown Rats" … "I don't like Mondays" was given as the only reason for a killings many years ago.

It seems there are strong arguments for and against, but I am happy to be in the UK where I feel safer.

That killing was actually the first mass shooting of its kind, and that was back in the 70s. Nothing has changed in 40 years except for how increasingly stupid it all is

[ @HatsOnFrogs Yes, but I did not want to say "Mass shooting" for the fear of being shot down by the gun carriers.
