In any confrontation both parties fight or flight reflexes are triggered. Now if both parties are unarmed or only have weapons which aren't guns, it very likely that they will choose fight. Now if one of them has a gun then, the other party is much more likely to choose flight, and so the confrontation can be de-escalated. If they are so angry that they are willing to fight someone with a gun, then one of them is going to die anyway.

Why are gun laws being discussed here? She could have been stabbed or poisoned or killed in a number of different ways. It is mental instability that is the problem here and that's what America needs to solve, not gun laws. The fact is that even if gun laws were passed most of the guns that exist will still exist and it will just prevent ordinary people from being able to arm and defend themselves while criminals will still keep their guns.

RIP Christina. Taken away at such a young age with so much talent for no reason at all.

He used the guns to kill her, nothing else, are you saying they should keep the gun laws? Without the free control of guns, it wouldn't have been easy for him to commit the crime.
