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.

LOL - what part of unarmed soldiers do you not understand?

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

Because shooting back will never work, right? Too bad the cop who shot the jihadist didn't know that, she could have saved herself the trauma of being shot by the mass murderer she stopped.

You were saying ...

Shooting back works to put an end to a situation like this, but it will never prevent it from happening in the first place and it will never prevent mass shootings from resulting in the deaths of people in the general public.

Arming everyone is fine, but it's not going to stop mass kilings and it's not going to prevent people from getting killed in the first place. The killings are going to happen. All that is going to happen is that the perpetrator will be shot (but then again, they usually shoot themselves anyway and kill themselves).
