It would be great if Stossel would go to same firearms experts used in the agitprop piece and run the same experiment. This time though, the student should be stripped of the hampering gloves and unfamiliar sidearm and holster and he should receive training in use of same. The "gunman" should be told to act in exactly the same manner as before with instructions to shoot at the same seat in the room. But the armed student should be moved to another area of the classroom to eliminate the instructor's knowledge that no surprise gunman would possess.

I wonder how a trained instructor would fare this time against a trained gun owner without the benefit of critical intelligence.

Two church members were shot to death and three others were injured after a gunman opened fire outside the New Life Church in Colorado Springs as Sunday services were wrapping up.

The gunman was shot by a church female security officer and was found dead when police arrived at the scene, said Colorado Springs Police Chief Richard Myers.

Police did not release the name of the security guard but said she “probably saved many lives today.”

“It’s a tragedy that could have been much worse than it was,” the police chief admitted.
