It has to make one wonder how many other such massacres could have been minimized of even prevented if there were more people with weapons, who knew how to use them and were willing to kill to protect others. In that incident at VT, how many would have been saved if there were even one person there who was able to shoot back?

I'm certain that security officer in Colorado feels badly that he had to kill someone. I can't believe any sane person would want to kill another human being. But I hope he will feel better knowing that he may have saved many, many people, including children. Well done!
Amen! Whether it's an armed security guard or an armed citizen, somebody needs to stop a crazed shooter. How can one blame the actions of a mad man on the right to own guns?
