• Armed Guard Stops School Shooter After He Opened Fire at Atlanta Middle School

  No mention of the gun type. Presumably it was a hand gun because a boy carrying an AR would instantly flag the administrators and cops, and they missed it on the metal detector. Since it is not an evil scary-looking “assault weapon” this will get very little play.

  In reply to 666Sucks.

  It is quite obvious that the best way to reduce Mass Killings is to arm citizens, and eliminate “Gun Free Zones”.

  Examples of shootings in “Gun Free Zones”, where concealed carry guns are not allowed:
  • Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, CT, 2012: (26 dead)
  • Movie Theater, Aurora, CO, 2012: (12 killed)
  • Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, 2007: (32 dead)

  Compared to shootings in other locations:
  • Mayan Palace Theater, San Antonio, TX, 2012: (0 dead) Jesus Manuel Garcia shoots at a movie theater, a police car and bystanders; as he enters the movie theater, an armed off-duty cop shoots Garcia four times, stopping the attack.
  • Appalachian School of Law, Grundy, VA, 2002: (3 dead) Crazed immigrant shoots the dean and a professor, then begins shooting students; as he goes for more ammunition, two armed students point their guns at him, allowing a third to tackle him.
  • Nick’s Palace, Edinboro, Pa., 1998: (1 killed) A student shoots up a junior high school dance being held at a restaurant; restaurant owner pulls out his shotgun and stops the gunman.
  • Pearl High School, Mississippi, 1997: (2 killed) After shooting several people at his high school, student heads for the junior high school; assistant principal Joel Myrick retrieves a .45 pistol from his car and points it at the gunman’s head, ending the murder spree.

  Many more example of both could be cited further proving that an armed citizenry = safety for the citizen.
