Who's to say if some rookie cops were on the scene the same thing might have happened? Who's to say every cop in the nation won't flip out and kill as many people as they have ammo for? (I use cops as the example only because even the press seems to be OK with cops carrying guns). Now how about what if . . . . Playing "what if" is part of what leads to the mess we presently face in lost liberty and privacy (in many more spheres beyond gun control).

If there were more armed citizens, there may well be less thug initiated sidewalk shootouts. Hard to say as it's hard to get more honest citizens to train and carry.

If there were less thug initiated sidewalk shootouts, the odds of a bullet sailing through a daycare window decrease -- that's a "what if" I can be confident is true.
