Obama and his speech in the Oval Office
-
What you keep about the house is your business. If you want to keep a shotgun for home defence, I can get on board with that, as long as it doesn't leave the property.
Have however many weapons you want I guess, but only one small firearm (as described) when out in public. If 'good guy with a gun' is your aim, you can achieve that with skill and a handgun.

So the solution is spraying as many bullets as you can until you hit the target, regardless of what else you hit?

If I am spraying bullets everywhere, it wouldn't matter what type of gun I have. I would be a danger to everyone around me. A rifle is a far better tool to stop someone who is breaking into your home then a pistol. If they are brazen enough to enter your home (at least in the U.S.), they are likely armed. I like having better odds.
As a general rule, I don't spray with anything but a garden hose.

People are dumb. Concealed carry is mostly beneficial in an attempted mugging or something if you're walking down the street to defend yourself or business, etc. - but most people can't conduct themselves in a walmart I'm pretty happy they aren't all carrying guns personally.
In a crowded chaotic place like a theater or a party, it might not be so easy to get your sights on a guy wearing body armor and wielding an ar-15 shooting people indiscriminately. In some of these places it's hard to even tell where it's coming from - people just run opposite of the noise.
Then there's the good samaritan who witnessed somebody get carjacked, then pulled out his gun and accidentally shot the guy who got carjacked in the head (talk about having a bad day).
And isn't there another guy who was stealing a case of beer from a gas station recently and got killed by a good Samaritan?
So the most logical thing is to say screw the concealed gun and go the "kiss your ass goodbye" route in the event of a mass shooting?
For the few dummy events that have occurred, you can find many events where having a concealed permit saved lives. Lots of people have accidentally injured/killed themselves and others with much more mundane items. That doesn't mean that we stop using nail guns and ladders.

Guns have 1 purpose so the last analogy is irrelevant.
I have no problem with concealed carry and I think it's a good thing, but I sure as hell don't want everybody walking around with a gun. Also I'm saying when a shot is fired in something like a theater and everybody starts running, falling, screaming - it's not very likely you'll be able to pull out your pistol and get the shooter in your sights very easily - unless you have nerves of steel like a navy seal or something.

I did mention about having other weapons in the home. If you break in to someone's home they have every right to believe you're armed, you have no rights.

That is a training issue which I strongly recommend people do. I am a shooting instructor.
That said, even without training, having the ability to potentially stop the threat is better than using the "not getting eaten by the bear" method of survival.

It's beyond belief that you don't need any training to own a gun.

A shotgun is as bad or worse than a rifle if your concerned with Yosemite Sam firing rounds off willy nilly and hitting your sleeping neighbors.

the video, chris. IF one of the family had a ccw, they
could have stopped the gang beating and murder,
and moved them away from them, and they
all would have gotten to safety.
in England. But it's a gun free zone. If you want to spout
off about our country, watch the video and defend that.

******************************************
Young people have to go to training to be allowed to hunt.
CCW licensees certainly do have to go for training, get background checked,
finger printed, etc. The only way to require training for owning a gun, would be
to have a national database of all gun owners. And that, as we saw in NY...
lends itself to being used as a weapon against gun ownership.
Dangerous slippery slope, because of the radical demoquackic extremists.

Who has daily mass shootings?
The US does.
http://shootingtracker.com/wiki/Mass_Shootings_in_2015
We also also don't yet have sharia law courts or complete neighborhoods so overran that emergency services won't enter.
Neither do we?
Tens of thousands?
Of people killed by guns every year? Yes. It holds steady between 10-12,000 people every year killed by guns in the US.

No it doesn't. There have been four or five this year. Stop buying into doctored statistics.

four or five people killed by guns? I'm sure you don't mean that, so please clarify.

Mass shootings as defined by the FBI.

Obama will probably go down as this country's greatest gun salesman ever:
Stunning=> Over 100 MILLION Guns Sold in US Since Obama Became President (Video) -
and, of course, the complete and total victory for libs ...
would be complete disarmament of Americans.
