You were saying ...

Well, it’s a clear example to me, that if soldiers on an army base cannot defend themselves adequately, I really don’t know how, many people here, think that they can do better than trained soldiers, with those soldiers having gone through combat and having had a lot of experience and being specifically trained.

You either have not read my comment or shamlessly perverted it, although I can’t see how. Tell me HOW a bunch of UNARMED youth supposed to defend themselves against that maniac?! Were they trained to deflect bullets? Another point is: would this tragedy have happened at all if the perp was aware of armed people at the place? You seem to be bent on evil guns, but in all of the mass shootings an armed victim (or several) would have stopped the massacre, as it happened many times.

As I said, I don’t have a problem with people carrying to defend themselves. I’m just saying that the public, with less training has less ability to effectively stop mass shootings/killings than even soldiers do, from their experience and training and combat.

But, again, that’s fine by me to have people carry to defend themselves. Just don’t expect the mass shootings to stop.
