Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16238324 The mere presence of armed people would do a lot to prevent this kind of activity.
People who are deranged, or want to make a statement, do not go into a place where the second they draw a gun they could be confronted and subdued.
They go somewhere where it can be a shooting gallery, like a school.
We don't need super soldiers, we just need ADULTS. Living, breathing, functioning adults. People that are responsible. Not children playing pretend adults being scared of inanimate objects.

So, let me get this right.
Classroom teacher(s) armed with a concealed handgun would subdue a "deranged", motivated, trained and gun obsessed nut who is likely to have (because it's everyones right to own this cool stuff, duh) military standard body armour, loads of tank piercing ammunition and enough high calibre weapons to supply a small army.
Oh yeah, that will work...
Maybe arm the kids too.
We need more guns, for everyone, that's the answer :(
You sir are a fucking retard. These guys are using 9mms and at worst AR's. Most of them have no shooting expierence at all. Put me up against them with my concealed weapon in a small building like that and I will win every time.
