Karl Kleinpaste's horrifying experience seems to him to provide an
argument in favour of allowing people to own handguns. It seems to
me to give a strong argumet against. As the incident unfolded, no-one
actually died (though somebody might have been killed). If both sides
had guns, I doubt that the attacker would have been the only dead
person after the incident. The incident just goes to prove how
important it is that the only guns owned by people are those owned
illegally by criminals or properly by police and army.
