There has been one common denominator.
Those massacred were unarmed and had no chance.
The only answer... Arm yourself to protect yourself.
Everything else is a band-aid on the already false sense of security.
So your definition of a safer America is every person legally capable of carrying a gun ought to be carrying a gun 100% of the time to ensure their safety?

So, you show some form of intelligence now...
What are you scared of? You might have to buy a gun too, to feel equal... LOL!
Merely trying to understand your logic. If everyone is packing, that makes everyone safer, correct?
The more people legally carrying (that want to, of course), the better!
I assume you're not talking about some sort of mandatory carrying program for everyone though. Carrying a firearm is not a decision most of us take lightly, and there are people that support the second amendment and right to carry, but choose not to for personal reasons.

Think like a criminal. Would you try to carjack a person in the parking lot of a gun range? How about a school? One place is almost a certainty you will be met with armed resistance and one is almost a certainty you will not be met with armed resistance.
Children 0-11 killed or injured by firearms - 693
Teens 12-17 killed or injured by firearms - 2685
Accidental shootings - 1942
Most of these cases were not about violence, they are about people who cannot manage their firearms.
If you cannot control your guns, you have no business owning them.
The first one alone should be enough to justify trying to do SOMETHING.
Accidental drownings kill 625 in the 0-14 age group, yet no push from the left to ban backyard pools.
No, not banning them, but there have been efforts all over the country to make pools safer for children.
And many of those efforts have been successful in reducing the numbers of kids' drowning.
Just like automobiles. Need I go find all the examples of how cars have been made safer for children AND adults over the last several decades?
And how about special cabinet latches, and door handles to make storage of dangerous household chemical safer to prevent accidental poisonings?
Making things safer. What a concept.
