>How many people that shoot people were — before the shooting — law-abiding citizens? Probably lots. That depends on your definition of lots. The vast majority of gun homicides occur during the commission of another crime. Most gun homicides can be directly related to drug crime. If you don't have a concealed carry permit, in most states, you're already committing a crime by carrying a concealed loaded gun around with you (there are exceptions--depends on the state). Do some research, look at the number of concealed carry permit holders convicted of gun related crimes--in most states it's a handful each year.
