Well, there were a couple million Americans carrying guns that day who didn't. And, statistically, there were many who defended their lives and/or the lives other loved ones, who thwarted robberies or burglaries, and who generally just made things difficult for the bad guys. But, yeah, let's focus on this one idiot and say "I told you so..." and try to drive policy decisions based on the one in several million outliers. Because, well, when that's what we want to do anyway, we must take maximum advantage of these exceedingly rare aberrations.
