The anti-gun lobby want to take firearms out of the hands of the public to avoid school shootings. Instead, as the case with 12 year old girl shows, the argument is easily flipped on its head in favour of allowing more people to carry guns in order to defend themselves against real criminals.

By the way, the Sandy Hook School in Connecticut is a gun-free zone, which means neither kids nor teachers could defend lives against the onslaught of Adam Lanza.
