That's because that isn't control. Having someone, a trained, detached presence to enforce it is control. Shooting have also happened in armed places. They just aren't pro-gun fodder so they aren't as covered.
Modern day proves that more regulation works better. I'll say it again. The countries with the lowest violent crime rates have strict gun regulation. Fucking Hong Kong is third lowest, and nobody but the government has guns there. Shite government another subject.
I never said I was in support of it. I said arming more people not smart and doesn't work. More, better regulation on getting guns and having detached, trained enforcers of gun-free zones works. If you want less deaths and shootings, you need better gun regulation.
It's like with our sword topic. Just because I'm pointing out that a method for achieving a certain goal doesn't work doesn't mean I agree with it. I consider myself a professional devil's advocate, furthermore. In a worldwide anarchy, everyone being armed would eventually equalize. Plus, I'm very open about supporting anarchy only worldwide. As I said a while back, barring worldwide anarchy, I support a well done mixed monarchy, so the leaders are well educated from birth, even if they don't end up in power, or needed to do anything in their lifetime if they are.
As long as killing humans is institutionally subverted by prison and/or death, there's no way to equalize it. We have such a system, ergo it won't work because it won't equalize. The reason Switzerland's (lowest violent crime rate in the world) system works is because not only is it hard to get a gun bar keeping one from the military, but it also conscripts most 20-30 year old males and as such trains them. It also requires previously conscripted get a special permit to keep their guns, and makes all previously military owned privately owned guns be semi-automatic at best/worst, no military to private fully autos. And their carry laws are strict. "To carry a loaded firearm in public or outdoors (and for an individual who is a member of the militia carrying a firearm other than his Army-issue personal weapons off-duty), a person must have a Waffentragbewilligung (gun carrying permit), which in most cases is issued only to private citizens working in occupations such as security."
Obviously this is not a very freedom friendly system, it's authoritarian.
You do realize that the media is all gun control, correct?
Arming everyone is literally my point. You can't combine the two concepts you advocate.
I don't mind extensive training. Make the gun owners know how to use their guns. Disarming them means their death in the situation of danger. I've read story after story from people in Europe who are helpless and in danger of losing everything because they have no weapons to defend against intruders or murderers. We can see that system not working in society, and people ignore it.
