The Right to Carry a Gun

Doesn’t seem like that to me. 
 

But, two people died. 
 

How can that be prevented?

Do you think the shooter would have stopped shooting after the first two if there hadn’t been anyone else with a gun in there?  

Defensive carry isn't meant to stop a shooting. It’s to defend yourself and others when they otherwise would essentially be sitting ducks to maniacs like this.  Is this really that difficult for you to understand that?

The only way way to prevent shootings is to get rid of all guns and that is impossible.

Not really. I'm pointing out, that in my opinion, the solution to the problem isn't more guns. The security are the ones who killed the shooter, and one of them is also dead. Most of the parishioners carrying didn't even draw until after the shooter was down. 

Maybe I'm naive, but the rest of the world can get along with out having the same magnitude of gun violence that we do. There's got to be a better answer than just more guns.

we need to start putting tanks in the schoolyards to deter shooters.

Then why do so many other countries have so many fewer violent people?

This is a good question and I have always wondered if it is because we don't punish as harsh as other places.  It seems like other countries really punish gun crimes...but I could be wrong about that and maybe it just seems that way.

If someone commits murder, they go to prison for a long time. 
 

People who commit these types of murders almost always die at the scene. 
 

How do we increase the punishment?

How do we increase punishment for crimes that people commit with guns?

Or do you just mean in these particular type of shootings at schools/churches/stores?
