I don't understand. As the gun supporters like to have us believe, if more citizens have guns, then they will shoot the bad guys. Problem solved.
However, it clearly took ages for anyone to confront the gunman in this case. Surely a citizen somewhere had a gun, and they could have gone in with 10, 20, 30 minutes or so? Not only that, it now seems even the police didn't go in.
Of course, the answer is obvious. I would never expect any citizen to put themselves in that situation when a crazy person is only to happy to kill them. And even the police will feel the same, unless they are a highly trained armed unit.
So, can we please use this as a prime example that good people with guns are not the answer in stopping bad guys with guns, especially ones with assault rifles?
