(16,038 posts)Mass killers like this have grandiose delusions of making some record and going down in infamy...anyone who thinks it is an accident he was in a place with statutory restrictions on concealed carry....along with nearly every other mass killer...are kidding themselves.
We don't actually know what would have happened under any other circumstances...some circumstances would have obviously lead to less shots fired, some more shots fired...we don't know what would have happened if someone were armed (AFAIK nobody was armed), we don't know if anyone would have been armed if it were legal, we don't know if the shooter would have picked the church if carry in churches was legal, who knows...from what I've seen it couldn't have been any worse in this church if churches could decide for themselves if they want to allow carry in their building....
