Absolutely not, it's not that simple and anyone who says it is that simple is clueless. Having a weapon does not mean that you are trained. I'm not for more guns, in fact I think the idea of "less guns" or "more guns" is ridiculous. A gun is an inanimate object and cannot do anything without a human that operates it. What we need is tactical training. If we incentivized this you would see less fear mongering and more highly trained people that could protect themselves and others. It is frankly the only solution that will ever work and unfortunately it may take many more deaths for people to realize this.
