I’ve thought about this ever since yesterday. Obviously, more restrictive laws would have zero effect on what this deranged monster did. The ONLY thing that stops an active shooter is another person with superior force. That means “A man (or woman) with a gun.” Period. I don’t care if it’s a police officer or a trained non-LEO. The only hope of stopping tragedies like this is to allow armed citizens or cops inside our schools.

YES!
I heard an account of the principal of the school and how she literally threw herself at the gunman trying to stop him. Tragically, he shot her dead, along with the others.
She quickly sensed that the Lanza was dangerous .
What would have happened if she had the training, and tool, (a gun),
to deal with the situation?
She obviously was not lacking in courage. Very sad.
