But I thought that when someone opens fire at a public place, the best (and only truly constitutional!) way to stop it is for a real murkin gun owner to calmy draw his weapon, carefuly aim, and flawlessly put down the shooter.

I thought gun tragedies only happen because no one around has a gun!

But this looks like a lot of panicked patriots to me. this was their chance to prove dirty harry right!

@1, my point in a nutshell.

Kinda odd to have an ad for cremation right before the news footage starts

Be sure to bring up the Conroe, Texas shooting at a college.

And Canada has its own share of dipshits: two boys in Dorval, Quebec (that's north of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine), 12 and 16 were PLAYING with a handgun when the 12 yo dispatched a bullet into his brother, killing him. Yeeha, n'est-ce pas?

Why are they running away and not toward? Especially the burlier 12 year old boys?

Are those her guns that scattered across the ground at the first scene?

The only plausible explanation is that the person firing the gun is behind the cameraperson and everyone is running toward the shooter before pulling out their guns to stop them.

@5 Because our schools suck and aren't teaching them proper meat shield techniques yet.
