    [I]n Dallas a 21-year-old with a previous aggravated assault charge shot five people in a house, including a toddler.

    If that toddler was armed it wouldn’t have happened

      Sadly I would put more faith into a good guy toddler with a gun than the police from Uvalde.

      If that person was actually convicted of the felony instead of likely plead out to a misdemeanor, it also wouldn’t have happened.

        All they had was a charge, not a conviction. Are you saying you want to strip the right of self defense from innocent people?

          Probably why they used the word “if”. IF they’d been convicted, the incident wouldn’t have happened. Not, they should’ve lost their gun cos they were charged. As it stands, nobody needs a gun for self defence anyway. The number of countries who manage to cope in this way far out numbers the US.
