        Good theory, but many could also say if a bystander had a concealed carry maybe only 1 person could have been hurt, and the attacked dead.

        Just get rid of all of them and the problems go away right? I mean it’s not like there’s a perfect example of that already... o wait the UK, and now knife crimes sky rocked instead

        Approximately 200 knife deaths in the UK last year. More than 15,000 gun deaths in the US last year. Europe will never do to itself what America has done. Please go away.

        A “knife incident” includes anyone merely carrying a knife! It doesn’t relate to stabbings. I pulled the statistics from the police website. Please take your gun fantasies and get lost.

        To say that if he or a bystander being armed couldn’t have prevented this would be an ignorant statement, or would have hurt less people

        He was killed by a cop.THREE people have been killed in terrorist attacks in France in the past year. Tens of thousands of Americans are killed by guns every year. We will never go for guns because America demonstrates every single day that guns kill innocent men women & children

        How many of those gun deaths are suicides or criminals in an act of violence though? You seem smart I’m sure you can find the actual numbers for that.

        No thanks. We don’t want 15,000 people per year killed by guns (and another 30,000 suicides by guns per year) but thanks very much for your comment. Bye.
