So, what does this prove? That people and governments can commit mass
murder? That killing people isn't a good thing? I know that. I also
know that merely removing guns from circulation won't result in less
violence; if the causes aren't treated, the symptoms will stay, maybe
only manifest in a different form. The cure is given in Romans, 13.10,
IMHO.
However, until people learn to love each other, we should at least
make it more difficult for them to inflict harm. But, if someone is
determined enough, or insane enough, very little can be done. How
would you protect those children in Tokyo? Arm them all with guns,
just in case? Arm the teachers with guns?
