Sandy Hook Provides Argument on Both Sides of Gun Debate
   And, along to the gun debate comes Sandy Hook. And what happened in Sandy Hook argues not just to one, but to both sides of the gun argument. 
   Forcefully.
   If the principal had had a gun, she would not have simply tried to tackle Adam Lanza, she would have shot him. Guns do save lives, says this argument. They are a deterrent to crime, 
   Then, there is the other side of Sandy Hook, the side that asks, where did these guns come from? They came from the stash of a gun activist. If the mother didn't own the guns, there is reason to believe the mass murder would never have taken place. The availability and proliferation of guns through our society does lead to mass murders, says this argument.
