I believe you missed the point. Somehow, the flag at half staff discussion got turned into gun control discussion. People asserted that no longer requiring a permit would lead to more shootings. My point is that illegal shootings are not stopped by requiring a permit to carry. If someone is going to commit a crime as serious as shooting someone, they are not going to be deterred by the fact that they have no permit. Your point proved my point. Even with forcing someone to get a permit, if someone wants to commit a heinous crime, they will.
