Howzit Possible?

There was a mass shooting recently, in RUSSIA! How in the hell did that happen? Russia long ago banned guns for its citizens (for the most part). So this should be an impossibility there, right? Russian “officials” are having a hard time explaining this away, after the gunman killed 17 people and wounded 40 others. They first told us it was an “explosion.” Then a terrorist attack. Then FINALLY, the truth came out that it was a STUDENT, who somehow got a gun, and killed a bunch of people. That was after they got so screwed up in their phony “explanations” that the local “officials” announced it was a shooting at the same time Putrid… er, uh, Putin was telling them it was an explosion. The shooter then killed himself after the attack was over. All this brings up (again) the question of how effective are anti-gun laws in keeping guns out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them. I think that’s a faulty way of going about it. You are NEVER going to be able to keep those who wish to do ill from getting the tools they need to do it. The ONLY sure way is to allow the law-abiding to be armed for self defense, so there is a great possibility that there will be someone there the shooter doesn’t know about, who can kill him/her before he/she can carry out his/her wishes to kill a bunch of innocents. The law-abiding are not likely to “go nuts” and shoot up the place, as the anti-gun fools confidently assure us they “might.” (Legal Insurrection)
