Every person doesn't have to be armed. Only one person has to be armed and procient to stop a killer. I don't know how many people were in that food court, but Elisha Dicken stopped the killer all by himself before the 911 Operator could say, "state your emergency".
26 of our States now have Constitutional carry. If that was nationwide it would be effective. We're 16 pages into this thread and there is still NO evidence or proof that infringing on American's Right to keep and bear arms will stop mass murder. The reason is plain to see. Law abiding citizens don't kill people. Criminals do. Disarming law abiding citizens will not stop the criminals.
I don't have such a low opinion of our citizens to believe they would be irresponsible with firearms.

As to the last sentence. I would say that I have driven through many states and seen many stop signs with many, many bullet holes through them. That to me is irrefutable proof that Americans can be "irresponsible with firearms"!!!!!!!
