THAT's gonna work well.
Please point out where I said EVERYONE MUST own a gun. Because I didn't. I'm saying massacres occur where the shooter KNOWS that NOBODY will have a gun. If the attacker thinks there's a good possibility that SOMEONE (read: not necessarily EVERYONE) has a gun, he wouldn't try attacking that location.
I know you didn't SAY it - but mathematically, and probability wise, how would you ensure that there's at least one good armed person present in every occasion and location where a potential bad guy with a gun can be present, planning a mass-kill? (your view excludes guards, etc - you wanted CIVILIANS to be there to shoot the bad guys)
I think better solution would be to ensure guns are BANNED from public places and ENHANCE the control and ENSURE that really NO ONE gets into a school area/theater, etc.
So now your argument is to put words into others mouths? I would suggest just replying to what people actually say, not what you want to have others believe they said.
The school where this happened was apparently a 'gun free zone'. And was also apparently supposed to be secure to the point that no one could get in without authorization.
Knowing that this school was a 'gun free zone' and no one would/could oppose his murderous intentions, no doubt made this school a prime target for his evil plan.
I would bet if you were to ask that school prior to Friday if anyone could get into the school without authorization, they would likely say absolutely not. Tragically for all of the kids and adults who were murdered, that wasn't the case.
