"...a criminal, would NOT knowingly walk into a situation where a victim would be armed..."

For fear of their lives? I don't think that the guy whose mission was to crash an airplane into a building was really concerned with his own survival.

Well, if he was shot dead before he got a chance to crash the plane, then he would think twice about boarding that aircraft. If he's dead, he cannot fulfill his mission.

And it is the GUNOWNERS responsiblity to get the proper training, not the governments job to make him get it.

Owning a firearm and carrying it are rights, and therefore you are allowed to own one whether you are trained or not.

Perhaps not, but fear of failure would be up there.
