Uni slaughter in the U.S.A

[Tiger Attack]

I was reading a letter to the editor in an American newspaper recently. The author's line of reasoning went:

1. Psychopaths choose crowded, soft targets as the place to wreak havoc. ie. shopping malls, schools and colleges, subways, office buildings. Thus they can kill numerous people quickly and easily.

2. These places are the most unlikely to have security guards, armed officers etc in them.

3. Thus, the law should be changed to allow citizens to carry weapons, with which to defend themselves and others.

Imagine the kids being allowed to take machine guns to class?

Massive jump in logic between points 2 and 3.

Could argue along those lines that, because there's a chance of being killed by a drunk driver in a car accident, I should be permitted to work from home. Don't think my boss will have any of it.
