All this talk about guns and mass shootings is making me nervous?

recently something happened close to where i live that made me want to purchase a gun , but now all these mass shootings really makes me want to be armed if i'm ever in a situation like that . you think now when i'm serious about getting a gun their going to make the rules stricter?

Update:

it seems like something about to go down in America and i don't be unprepared when it does.

Update 2:

@Blockhead that might be a problem for me if thats the law in my state.

    if you've ever had mental evaluations,those will be produced and examined before you can own a gun..im wonder how blacks feel knowing that a crazy white could easily go into a highly populated area a massacre a bunch of blacks...would they retaliate against innocent whites?

    Mass shootings are an unfortunate side effect of the right to bear arms. However, most people who are injured or killed by guns are not done so in mass shootings. People who have guns specifically for the purpose of committing crimes, however, are going to have the whether they're legal or not. People who have guns for the purpose of defense will give their guns up if they are illegal and thus be unable to defend themselves from criminals. Most gun owners are very responsible with their weapons. It would not be fair to penalize them to remove guns from the hands of a vast minority. Furthermore, it would take more than just Obama to strike down the second amendment, which would be the only way to illegalize gun ownership. Two thirds of both the House and the Senate must agree on it, and frankly, there are not enough democrats, much less democrats who would support repealing the second amendment, in congress to do so.

    No they won't.

    If there had been a concealed carrier in the area where that mass shooting occurred the shooter would have been shot in the head pretty quick.

    I feel that responsible citizens should be armed and skilled shooters, it makes everyone safer.

    @Blockhead That's what I'm worried about. With all of these guns, a "race war" could begin.
