[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 1880253, member: 18914"] Then nothing changes - nothing is made worse. But there was at least a chance of a less overall deadly outcome. Think of MAJ Hassan. I was at Ft Hood that day walking down the road as the police and EMTs started zooming by me but it wasn't until I got back to the VOQs that I found out what had happened. He was able to shoot many people in a large group of trained military personnel waiting to deploy into combat mostly because of surprise - initially - and their lack of weapons/ammo. Any one of those troops was trained to shoot and stop that terrorist but had been disarmed as a normal part of their pre-deployment prep. You are right, probably can't stop the first or maybe the second but boy you can make numbers 3+ a lot less likely. [/QUOTE]
