    You don't know that because you didn't bother to check. Mass shooters have been tackled by bystanders.

    Don't be so sloppy with your stats - go look it up before you post.

    I heard murder was not allowed on campus either....

    seriously though, I support armed security guards, but I do not think teachers and students should be armed in the classroom

    but if the school doesn't allow them to be armed, they are responsible for security

    Who would you rather take your chances with. A legal CCW student or this guy? Another question: Would you rather be armed or unarmed in a similar situation as this?

    Security would be the first targets...probably by ambush because they are known adversaries of any shooter who would also know that once security is disabled the students would be sitting ducks.

    Not true. Many of the mass shootings in the US were in public areas that were not designated gun free.

    People that trained and holding a CCW, so not everyone is armed just those that know how to properly use a firearm.

    let's build a wall.... seriously though, all that high school stress combined with students having guns?

    and remember, without a permit they have to leave the guns in the open, on there desk, whatever... by law they can not conceal them in any way

    The problem was a gun being inside the classroom. Guns should not be in classrooms.

    The killers agree with you.

    It is your claim. Therefore it is your responsibility to supply your source for verification, rather than demanding that others do your work for you.

    The system in place does no good, if those who are in a position of power to actually do something choose to do nothing.

    I did look up my stats. Nine mass shootings were stopped by civilians with guns.

    Now go look yours up. How many civilians without guns stopped mass shootings?

    Imagine if cops had guns... one of the highest stress occupations.

    Build that wall, bro.

    Even if such were true, locations such as the united kingdom, and the nation of Canada, are noted for higher levels of other crimes compared to the untied states.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Give us a list of each and every location where a mass shooting has occurred, where there was no prohibition on the possession of firearms.

    well unless the killer was a student... allowed to have the gun

    I think school shooting would increase if students had guns.....

    kinda like court room shooting would increase if visitors had guns

    Your stat is that 9 killings that were already at "mass" level, were stopped with guns.
    It doesn't tell you how many were in places where guns were not allowed, thus no one else having one.
    It doesn't tell you how many were stopped after the first victim.

    People keep telling you this but you would rather pretend only 9 mass murders were stopped with guns.
    Despite the fact you haven't a clue what the truth is.

    How many mass murders were stopped before they started?
    How many were stopped after one victim?
    How many were stopped after 2 victims?
    How many stopped after 3 victims?

    Rhetorical, because just like the stat you pretend to know... you don't know those ones either.

    What, crimes like burglary? Not quite as serious as murder.

    Liberals are whining about guns and the media will not say what race the shooter was....odds are the shooter was a muslim or motivated by jihad. Cue Obama to ask gun owners to do some soul searching.
