Gun Control Reform Activism

People keep talking about how more people carrying guns will lead to the prevention, or at least minimization, of tragic but rare incidents like school and mall shootings.

If I had to bet, I'd say that more people owning and carrying more guns will lead to more deaths than it will prevent. It seems like common sense to me that this would be the case.

There will be more more unbalanced people with easier access to firearms that enable them to commit mass murder, more accidental discharges (gun cleaning, children playing, idiots dropping their guns in stores, etc.), more vigilante incidents leading to deadly confrontations with innocents (Trayvon Martin and others), more people shooting innocents who knock on their door, more suicides, and more hotheads using an available weapon in incidents that would otherwise have ended in a fistfight.
