The 2 things you attempted to "cite" were absolute nonsense and proved nothing.

I think I'm tempted to just automatically link that into all gun-control talks and refuse to discuss anything further till they've read it, because I really haven't seen let alone typed anything so logical, accurate, comprehensive, and well said on the subject. Thanks for the link.
I read it a week or two ago, so will continue.
A concealed carry instructor wrote a long blog post manipulating the historical record to justify unrestricted gun access, and people who already agreed with him say they still do: Wow. That does not make him accurate, Cicero or anything but a biased activist his fellows support.It is a long piece, and I do not feel like digging through all of its tortured "logic" like I did a week or two ago; once was more than sufficient.
The China incident was used in the article to illustrate that guns are not needed to create an "atrocity" thus restricting them does not prevent one. I have no idea what you were trying to illustrate.
Your reasoning behind the importance of an off-duty cop being the one to stop a mall shooting as opposed to a civilian also escapes me as the quality of training received by police officers and their qualitative performance in stress situations was discussed in the article. The point was that the shooting was stopped by someone who happened to be at the location when the shooting began, as opposed to the body count that would have resulted from the inevitable delay before a uniformed police response could have arrived.
Keep trying

Yeah, uh, no. Not until you do some serious background checks on teachers.

Not according to Gallup, just most US voters; Gallup DOES say 58% of the US wants more gun control.
