People don't kill that many people in spur-of-the-moment confrontations like a bar fight. Mass killings like this are premeditated.

However, if everyone carried a gun, this guy would not have been able to get off more than a few shots before he was dead himself, no matter how pre-meditated his actions were.

Whether everyone carrying a gun would increase random murders elsewhere is up for debate. If everyone in society was trained properly, everyone being armed would be a good thing. However, in the reality we live in there are a lot of people that cannot control their temper -- or are just plain idiots -- but then again if everyone was armed they would learn to control it or die (if you consistently start pulling out your gun for no reason you would end up shot).

I personally support concealed-carry permit laws but only slightly and can see the arguement both ways. The only way i would support an anti-gun law is if all guns could be eliminated. But since that isn't possible, I believe in the sayings "If guns were outlawed, only outlaws would have guns" and "A criminals biggest fear is that his or her next victim will be armed."
