Tombstone? Come on, Left leaning author of this opinion, no way it's a news story with all the Leftist invective it includes.

Yep, I guess we need to sit back and watch the carnage in the streets of KY. (Dripping sarcasm added). Amazingly, this has not been the case with other states with Contitutional carry.

Talk about harping on the exception to, rather than the basis of, the rule.
I'm going to be honest, it perturbs me when people who have no personal discipline or commitment to some sort of training strap up and become a liability to us all. There isn't a firearm in existence that automatically imbues the holder with the judgement, skill, and responsibility accompanying the "right to bear arms".
Still, we all know what happens in a society where "running with scissors" is "best handled" by taking away all the children's scissors.

Perhaps I'm not saying it clearly enough. You, I, and thousands of firearms owners obviously DO have that discipline and commitment. That's why we train-right? I don't imagine you'd go into a bar, get soused, and start randomly popping away at the guy who implied he knew your mother about the time you were born. No-I'm not advocating mandatory anything; that's why I ended with, "we all know what happens in a society where "running with scissors" is "best handled" by taking away all the children's scissors." Clearly, I think that's a bad idea. But the deadly, honest truth is that we're going to lose these freedoms, and while our opposition didn't need any encouragement, situations like those described in the original post don't help.
One other point-my opening statement should've said it clearly enough. The article was using an outlying incident-one that would not have/ could not have been prevented by legislation, to make their "point". To my mind, that's what's wrong with ALL "gun control"...it's using the exception to the rule to prove their point. In this, you and I (from your previous post) seem to be 100% in agreement.

I can comfortably say you've won this one-mostly with this statement, "People will shoot up bars. People do shoot up bars. But when you examine that situation case-by-base, you almost universally find that the shooter has a long list of priors and is well known to law enforcement. (There are exceptions. But they're rare.)" ...how true.
