I think to kill and wound that many people, even unarmed ones, with only two handguns in such a short period time by one person sounds very unlikely. Moreover, how much training did this guy have to become that proficient?

He had a huge amount of training, something which appeared strange to some, as typically, medical doctors don't go in for much weapons training.

HOWEVER... the fact is, that the way that the room was set up, and the place where he was standing in relation to the 400 soldiers in the room -- the set up was like, according to someone whom Michael Savage interviewed last night -- it was exactly the equivalent of shooting into a fishbowl.

I was extremely angry that no one in the MSM had described these basic facts to me, as ever since it first was reported, I have been wondering how ONE shooter could take down so many soldiers.

Now I am super angry that our military installations apparently are PC gun-free zones where our troops are at as great a risk on home soil, as overseas.

Mike Savage said that Carter was the first prez responsible for removing weapons from domestic military bases -- but I didn't listen any further, I was too angry....

He FAILED to kill eighty-percent of the people he shot. He took advantage of unarmed people who were evidently indoors at a mass gathering. The typical response to a shooting like this would be to hide behind an object or attempt to use an exit. Neither strategy would diminish the availability of targets to the shooter.

Shooting a gun and hitting a person-sized target at a range of twenty feet is not rocket science. To kill a dozen helpless people in minutes is not that difficult. It was done at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and numerous other places.

The common element is that the potential victims are gathered together in a gun-free-zone. I doubt that this type of attack could occur in Israel. From what I have read, they do not disarm their own innocent people.
