There's not just normal non killing and raging murders, you can kill or shoot someone in a fight, you could get robbed and have your gun stolen, then a real criminal has your loaded weapon to do God knows what. YOU may not ever snap, doesn't mean a depressed kid that has never hurt anyone wouldn't when he finds his girlfriend sleeping with another man. I can understand having a gun in your home locked up, but carrying everywhere and looking like a scared little man leads to other issues.

Obviously no matter what people will take guns to kill wherever, but not allowing them wherever COULD lower the chances of other issues with them. Every little bit counts.


If some "depressed kid" wants to go shoot his girlfriend or if someone wants to go shoot up a college campus, they will do it regardless of the gun law... Murder is illegal isn't it?? But that doesn't stop them.... so why would a gun law that is meant to be for licensed carries stop them.?? These gun laws are passed so innocent people can defend themselves and others around them without having to worry about being thrown in jail for 20 yrs for saving lives. They are not passed so criminals can get away with carrying on campus and shoot whoever they please...
