So your argument is that the risk of having armed individuals protecting innocent civilians causing a hostile, unfriendly environment is greater and more pressing than the risk of those innocent civilians not having someone there to protect them should a guy do what Lanza did.

Let me know if I calculated this wrong.

Why not take a chance on the type of policy that Great Britain enacts for example?
Because taking a chance on policy that affects one culture, population and demographic and simply applying it to another completely different scenario is ridiculous and misguided.
If you wanna make comparisons without any regard to the differences in the culture and population, then let's just arbitrarily throw Mexico's gun laws into the discussion and let you try to explain that away...
