Guns are easy to obtain for almost anyone because there are loopholes to avoid background checks like purchasing at gun shows ect. A lot of Americans truly believe the solution to these incidents involves more citizens carrying concealed weapons that would defuse these situations immediately.

Walk into most Wholesale Sports stores or other outdoor type stores in the US and you will see Utah concealed weapon training program permit courses that you can take for $40 - $50. You don't have to go Utah to take the course. I was just down many of the States surrounding Utah and this course is offered everywhere. Likely about as hard as getting your learners license
