Um, man wasn't born with a gun in his hand.
So equating a man without a gun with a declawed cat is just stupid.
In the UK, handguns were banned after the dunblane attack.
Since then, there have been no incidents that resemble the one this week in
the USA.
Trouble is, in america they're freely available.
It's considered a god given right to own a deadly projectile weapon capable
of seriously injuring someone so far away you can't even see their face.
At least in medieval times when swords were the main form of combat you had
to be face to face with your opponent and look them in the eye as you tried
to gouge them out.
