The Newtown Ct shooting A dark day in our history

The presence of a citizen in the Oregon mall that had a concealed handgun permit, and that was able to stop that crime should remind us all (including the anti-gun hysterics):

The USA has a long history that clearly proves prohibition of things cannot correct behavior. (Alcohol; drugs; prostitution... etc).

Prohibition doesn't work; repeating the same mistakes (by enacting more gun prohibitions) cannot solve the problem.

The only thing that can correct the behavior of a violent criminal is immediate overwhelming counter-force.

And sometimes not even that. According to the news this morning, the gunman killed himself right after hearing the police sirens. It seems like it wouldn't have taken much resistance to prevent this tragedy, the perpetrators are most often cowards.
