I truly believe this would drastically reduce the murder rate but it might increase burglaries and other less serious crimes.

I don't know if allowing everyone to carry a concealed gun everywhere would reduce murder-suicides like these. You have to realize that these perpetrators want to die and take a few people with them.
Paging Dr Feelgood. Please report to the gun free zones. That is what it is for.

How so? People have been murdering others since the begining of time. What? You think that without a gun, murderers would be stymied and go home and cry in their pillows?

You are right about the perps. However, if someone had a gun there, they might be able to help him achieve the suicide part of the murder-suicide objective a little sooner.
