2 or 30 doesnt matter. it still would have been an tragedy! you sound like you'd be happy if only 2 people had died! carrying arms is no solution for this..i wouldnt feel comfortable to be in a place where everyone carries a gun on his/her person albeit for self defense. when wal-marts sell them everywhere, no laws/clauses/back ground checks would be sufficient. i also believe the US is setting bad precedent to other countries with its liberal laws.
