IMO guns make events like this all too easy. It's one thing to kill with a knife (takes guts and some degree of effort) but a gun removes all the personal contact.

If you think it doesn't take any guts to look someone in the eyes, while you have them lined up against a wall, and shoot them, watching their head explode in a pink misty cloud of brain matter, blood and shards of bone, and then see their brains and blood smeared across the wall, you're simply out of your ****ing mind. Oh yea, then repeat a few times.
This is NOT the movies people, when you shoot someone point blank, things, especially heads, explode. It is very, very messy.
Also, as to it being EASY to pull a trigger, I've talked to combat vets who initially couldn't pull the trigger WHILE BEING SHOT AT IN A COMBAT SITUATION. Pulling a trigger, especially on an unarmed person, is no easy task, don't let Holly Weird deceive you.
Edit:
No, this isn't mean to be as combative as it sounds...
