Don't disarm me, a law abiding citizen

According to reports so far, this gentleman was also a law abiding citizen- until he did what he did.

A man stabbed 22 children outside of an elementary school in China today.

And none of them died.

I'm not saying banning all guns is the answer to tragic scenes like this. In fact nobody in this thread has said that. However, whenever something like this happens, all kinds of people start drawing lines in the sand saying things like "I've never killed anybody- you have no right to take my guns away."

Well- I don't operate heavy machinery, so don't take my weed away.

I've never hijacked an airliner- don't make me take my shoes off.

I don't know what the answer is to violence in our society, or even if there is an answer. I do know that we need to have a diologue that goes deeper than slogans and platitudes.
