I hate too be flagrantly obvious, but don't you suppose that at least one of those victims would have had a chance if he or she were armed?
A multiple murder occurs in a city with among the most stringent gun laws and the gun-grabbers are positively salivating, if not frothing at the mouth.
A similar situation in Baltimore - Maryland's gun laws are ridiculously strict and ensure that law-abiding citizens will not be allowed to have guns but street thugs and other criminals will.
And I almost forgot Chicago, that gem of the Midwest, where human life matters not a whit, where there are exceedingly tough gun laws, and where the carnage in the streets is worse than in an actual war-zone.
Send me to Afghanistan - I think I have a better chance there!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Where the bad guys use rifles, in 7.62x39, to shoot up a basketball game, but not killing anyone, whereas the Navy Yard killer used a shotgun, per Joe Biden’s admonition.
