1. People who own guns do not shoot up random restaurants if the server pisses them off. However, the likelihood of gun violence increases with the frequency in which gun access converges with people's daily interactions with others. That's based on years of qualitative and quantitate research on gun violence in neighborhoods, homes, and schools.

2. The above includes already motivated offenders (who weren't found in background checks--no surprise) who now have a legal reason to have their gun at school--spend less time hiding their gun and more time focusing on what they plan on doing with it.
Please cite ONE, just ONE, scientific study that proves your point. By that, I mean something from a relatively impartial source, not the Brady Foundation or the NRA.

Now, I point you to Professor Livriu Lebretscu - the concentration camp survivor who taught at Virginia Tech - who shielded his students with his body. Had that man CHOSEN (again, I'm speaking only of those who CHOOSE to be armed) to be armed, would there have been 32 dead? I doubt it.
