If not for the ready availability of guns in the US, would the situation between an advisor and a graduate student -- about which we have yet to learn more -- have escalated to yesterday's tragic loss of life at UNC?

(Note: The perpetrator of the tragic École Polytechnic massacre 1989 targeted women studying subjects, not faculty, and he himself was rejected admission to the institution, twice.)
