      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>
