If you study mass shootings in the USA, several things stand out:
1) usually loners (not always, but usually)
2) they case areas of mass, unarmed targets (schools, malls, churches, movie theaters)
3) they usually intend to die by suicide or death-by-cop after killing maximum victims
4) they are, at heart, cowards. None would face an armed opponent in a remotely fair fight.
They are cowards, and mentally deranged...but not stupid. They have a plan.
Given this, I propose:
We have a "Ground Marshals" program, similar to the Air Marshals program. Selected adults, who work in the targeted areas, who CCW and are trained to respond to these incidents. Just as in the AM program, not EVERY adult is armed...but who is armed is unknown to the shooter....just as it is in the Air Marshal program.
These GMs dont even have to "hit" the shooter. To fire back is to disrupt their plan, and degrade/stop their attack. Lives are saved.
The uncertainty of knowing who is armed and ready to fight, and who is not, will deter the majority of these diseased fucktards. They want easy publicity, multiple deaths, and a final shootout. To die at the beginning is not. their. plan.
But....the Nanny State will not allow this idea. As the Chattanooga event showed...even our SERVICEMEN cannot defend themselves (legally). Travesty.
We disagree about everything else on this issue, but I agree with this plan.
