A tool makes the wielders powerful. We should have faith in the fact that giving power to people results in good. It will result in bad, as well, but the belief that more good will come than bad is the foundation for modern society as it is today. I don't believe that good guys will beat out the bad guys or that more guns will solve school shootings. Instead I believe that these shootings are signs that things are bad, and need to be fixed. Ranging from a need for stronger mental health, to a need for news coverage and discourse on topics like this chasing attention rather than seeking to improve our society as a whole. I believe in a society that values the power of the individual more than it does safety. Generally you do not want to trust anyone who tries or wants to teach you a lesson in humility.If you want to have a culture of guns you seriously need to work on a culture of intelligence and humility first.
