Add to this a primary goal of NRA leadership: everyone 4 years old plus should pack heat. Surely someone in the dark theater would have stopped Holmes; someone in Vegas could have located Paddock and taken e out right after the first round of shots; if only some of the kids in Newtown had CCWs, Lanza would have been stopped early on; same for Cho, Hasan (aren't there lots of guns on military bases?), Mateen, etc. etc.
