Indeed. Only criminals having guns is the way it should be. Go progress!

It wasn't the gun's fault, they need to ban balaclavas. Or playgrounds.

"Dutch gun laws are actually quite strict. Gun ownership is seen not as a right, but a privilege, with hunting and target shooting the only two legitimate reasons for owning a gun. Self defense is not regarded as a valid argument for owning a gun, and only the police are allowed to carry a weapon..."

Its because these incidents are so rare that you hear about it. 40 Americans get shot and killed every day in the States and its not even news.

Everything will be much better when our leaders finally realize that all they really have to do is outlaw death.
