A "myth" sounds rather strong when the data's not in yet. How
many shootings like this have there been where one or more of the
victims had a weapon on them? How did they turn out? <br>
<br>
It seems like common sense to me that having a weapon on you for
personal protection might actually (at least in some situations)
be a blessing.<br>

<div>Has anyone ever stopped a shooting like that with a handgun?
No. It's fine with me if handguns make you feel safer. But they
don't make things safer. Myths like that are not helpful. And
yes until it actually happens, yours is a myth.<br>

would have went down if a couple of people in the theater

I haven't read up on the Milwaukee shooting.<br>
