Nonsense. This sounds really paranoid and a very fear driven response. Imagine now if the proper people who wanted to have guns were able to legally carry at these events. These people who would usually carry and act would more than likely be the well trained people correct? This is basic psychology as not everyone would even know how to act in this situation unless they had trained and trained hard to get past the intial fear response. Make sense? Think about the situation, not everyone is going to be a cowboy in this situation.
The police want people to not get their guns out because they will be killed as accomplices, training to point a gun and training to be able to handle stressful and panicky situations are extremely different to the point that the comparison is laughable and garbage nonsense. You also completely forget that the improper people who wanted to have guns (and have them) would be able to legally carry and since no background checks anything could happen.

This sounds racist. There is no reason for law abiding citizens to go around killing people as "terrorist's". This is a Crime. The Majority of gun owners are very law abiding. We are talking about 5 of 100,000 that commit murder. The goal should be to lower this number as a society to find out the best way to keep everyone safer.
Safe is the ability for everyone to have the equal right to defend themselves.
Suicide has been a crime in a lot of places. Do you know what the suicide success rate is for someone using a gun, compared to every other method? Do you know the person mostly likely to be killed by you with the gun in your house is yourself, followed by your family? Actual murder is a bynote compared to how many people are killed by themselves or in accidents with guns.
Hell, I've seen an argument that implementing background checks and a handgun ban in exchange for relaxing laws against machine guns and suppressors would drastically drop the rate at which people are killed in both intentional and unintentional ways by guns, with more fun stuff for the enthusiast and less hearing damage (as suppressors are not the Hollywood phut phut idea) and less overall kills in spree killings, even if they did get a machine gun.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
