I meant about another mass gun shooting, not the difference between Rights and Laws !!

Well, when you have crazy people, they will do things... and if the press spends weeks day and night on someone after they've committed such a crime, other crazies decide that dying is worth the fame.

In any case, what people fail to realize is that rights are about people exercising a choice. For example, I would much rather have the one in a zillion chance of being a victim in a mass terror attack, than know with 100% certainty that the government monitors and records my every communication, and that at any time in the future I may be persecuted for something I said or didn't say.

Likewise, many Americans, consciously or not, are willing to accept the risk of being killed by a gun, versus the certainty of giving up the right to own or carry one.

But none of that matters, since we have been wisely assured that right by our Constitution's writers.

Those who try to eliminate guns by virtue of regulating them out of existence are committing a crime against the Constitution, not unlike those who detain prisoners indefinitely with no trial, or conduct mass surveillance without a warrant.
