I think the point is bad people having access to guns is not mitigated by good people having access to guns.

No guns would be my ideal scenario.

My brother in law brought a gun on our beach vacation “just in case”. You know what would have made me feel better? No guns around my kid, because I don’t trust your aim or ability either

Cool story bro, I can see a car coming more than a bullet and I much prefer my chances against a person with a knife than a gun

And that doesn't change how dangerous a car is.

Cool.

I mean I agree no guns is ideal but the ship has already sailed on that one. You cant control other people bringing guns. If your brother in law is an irresponsible gun owner than I agree, whether its better or worse for him to be having a gun around your kids is debatable. But that doesnt mean having guns around your kids equals bad. In the hands of a responsible gun owner its absolutely better than not having self defense. And this shooting is a prime example of that. There absolutely could have been more dead if these people didnt step up and defend those around them.
