In both of these cases, the crime wouldn't have happened if guns were harder for the criminals to obtain. Having been to safer areas, I don't think it's normal if there is a situation that makes the general population need to own guns. That situation just shows how dangerous a country is because of guns.
I heard a story on the radio once about a woman whose ex-husband had been in the KKK. She got introduced to everyone in the local organization. After they broke up she volunteered for the police, wearing a wire to events and gatherings and such. Eventually they got caught on and she started getting threatening phone calls "we're going to kill your dogs, we're going to kill you"...when they showed up at her house one night with crowbars or something she met them on the porch with a shotgun and they scrammed.
