I suspect that someone unstable enough to shoot up a cafe might not have
any qualms about carrying a concealed weapon without a permit despite
the fact that it's illegal. It's not like shooting people is legal, either.
Also, in my opinion, the quote "I don't know that there's anything you
can do in these situations. We can't treat him like a child, he's got
his own life to live and he can make his own mistakes no matter how
horrific those mistakes turn out to be" is really at the center of this
debate. Personal responsibility vs. the "nanny state".
Do we want to be stripped and strapped to our seats when we fly, or do
we want to live with a little more risk? Do we want all tools that fire
projectiles or have sharp edges made unavailable, and safe Playskool
toys available instead?
