Would better gun control help?

[Midwest Spy]

If a responsible gun owner with a ccw had a gun on them at the theater they could have protected themselves. Possibly taken the shooter out before he killed as many.

Looks like there are A LOT of instances where it would've been nice if someone with a CCW were around:

Obviously, there are many, many more, too many to list actually.

Two points: #1) Guess what, all these killers chose the GUN as their weapon of choice to take out their victims. They didn't select a machete, baseball bat, bomb, poison, harsh language, or just good old fashioned choking. Why, you ask? The ease in which the gun is used to kill would be my guess.

#2) I've never heard of one instance where someone with a CCW was nearby and thwarted one of these crimes. Too bad. In theory it sounds wonderful.
