2 fatally shot in convenience store robbery

So many things to say about this story
First of all, society is much, much, much better off due to the results of this story.
Second, because people in the store had a gun everyone was more safe.

I love how the relatives say that the trash that were killed were not trying to rob the store...hum..lets see:

The men were armed and wearing masks and gloves when they entered the store at N. 12th and W. Chambers streets about 10:45 a.m.
then the bad parent who raised one of the men said:
"My son, he wouldn't harm anybody. He'd never done anything to anybody. I taught him right from wrong," said Whitaker's mother, Sharon Lawson. "The police is telling a lie. I know he didn't go around in the store trying to rob anybody."
oh really?

Never harmed anyone? Never done anything to anybody?
Really?
Police said Whitaker and the other man had arrest records that include arrests for drugs, armed robbery and weapons violations.
Whitaker was arrested in June on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a gun, police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said.
He had convictions for marijuana possession, bail jumping and disorderly conduct, according to online court records.

Our society would be much safer and criminals would think twice if they thought that the person they were robing or trying to kill or whatever might have a gun. Gun laws only hurt law abiding citizens. Criminals will always have guns and will try and harm society in general..
Well, now two scum who probably would have murdered an innocent person someday are dead..and Milwaukee is a safer and better place for it...

So, what is your opinion?
Are law abiding citizens safer or not if they are allowed to have a gun?
Would crime go down or up if more people could have guns?
Do more gun laws stop criminals from having guns?

Gunman Planned Campus Shooting for at Least Six Days

Which case is more reasonable:
1. This is an isolated incident and nothing could have prevented it...
2. If we had more gun laws this wouldn't have happened...
3. If someone else would have been armed in that hall they could have stopped most of the deaths...

This day in History: Paul Ravere

I bring this up because one of the reasons Ravere went out that night to warn people "the British (redcoat's) were coming was because they were coming to take away the guns of the people.

One could say (a bit of a stretch) that one of the reasons the Revolutionary war started was because the British were trying to impose strict gun control.

Are we not having some in society try to do that now.
The common sense statement about gun control is that criminals don't care what gun laws you pass, they will get guns just like they get drugs or whatever else.

You are only hurting the citizens who want to protect themselves...the law abiding citizens...
