My brother is educated on firearms, which is why he's able to come to the conclusion that his gun would have been to no use to him on that day. He understands that simply being able to fire back doesn't make the situation better
Yes, he even came to the conclusion that there were times he wished he had a gun, but was unsure that, with the practice and education, he would be able to have the common sense to not draw his weapon in the heat of the moment, combine that with something unexpected happening around the corner (someone else drawing a gun) and things can go bad very fast..

He explained further that at the time he wished he had his gun on him, because as he was having to go around corners, he did not know what he would encounter on the other side, but in hindsight he was glad he was not carrying that night, as 1. He could not have stopped the gunman 2. He is unsure if in the heat of the situation that he would have had the common sense not to draw his weapon, and 3. When he used his shirt as a tourniquet to prevent a woman who had been shot from bleeding out, the gun on his hip would have been left exposed. Had any of the officers who were trying to get control of the situation had seen him with his weapon, they might have mistook him for another gunman.
So in this situation he seemed it to best best if the entire crowd would not have small weapons at all.
I do think a high number of accidents around the house can be reduced with some sort of requirements. Sauccision posted something about how guns ownership is allowed in France if you are 18+ affiliated with a gun club, have 3 sessions with a teacher to be granted a license to buy and own guns for 5 years. To after that be repeated again. /e ow and they need a medical declaration as well. kinda important ^^
Imo it can reduce the quite a few of the accidents. Would imply gang members to list up in shooting clubs, which is interesting.
