Person with a long rifle and body armor in the Main Group Building of MIT
Good that the man was not found there(in a sense that no one was harmed).I still would like to understand few things.Of course I shall not be able to understand how it feels to have a gun when you want it(and afterwards take a decision on how to use it. To defend yourself or flash in malls or kill children for fun or out of depression) as I live in a country where having fire-arms is either a luxury for powerful and rich (mainly because of license red tape and high license fee) and operational equipment for criminals.But I still  don't understand that how can guns be allowed in such a manner when they don't let you handle a gas cylinder at a public place or a take a metallic fork on an air-plane. I mean I just want to understand the logic behind it, if there's anything other than the logic that "the gun lobby makes sure it's open" - just like the tobacco lobby the world over even though it's perfectly clear that it causes cancer(i.e. it kills).I mean this just doesn't add up. There's some reason you have police, military, para-military and federal agencies so that citizens don't have to handle this aspect of security.There's one more doubt - is it as easy and as simple to get a gun in USA as it's projected in films or in the media? That looks like going to a store and asking for a new mobile handset. Maybe the latter is more complex.
