1. I cringed when I read some of those stories.

Like, this one:

Alabama
# Concealed Handgun Permit Holder: Michael McLendon
SUICIDE
Date: March 10, 2009
People Killed: 11 (including shooter)
Circumstances: On March 10, 2009, Michael McLendon, a self-proclaimed survivalist,
killed his mother at their family home, beginning a shooting rampage that stretched
across 24 miles. By the time McLendon took his own life in the midst of a police
shootout at a factory where he had previously worked, he had shot four more relatives,
including his 74-year-old grandmother, and five strangers, including the wife and 18-
month-old daughter of a local sheriff’s deputy. McLendon had a concealed handgun
permit for two handguns. Police later found at the home he shared with his mother
numerous how-to DVDs on committing acts of violence.
