I was wondering why the Oregon mall shooter had not shot more than 3 people before killing himself. Then I read this afternoon that someone with a CHL was carrying and in the vicinity of the shooter. He pulled his gun but didn't shoot because there was someone behind the shooter that might have been hit. Nevertheless, the shooter saw him and apparently at that point took his life.

Meanwhile in CT, no one was armed except the shooter. And far more were killed.

Makes you wonder doesn't it!!

Gun control is the feel good solution. But like almost every feel good solution that the politicians come up with, it doesn't work. Ayoob is right on.

The solution is to train teachers and other to personnel in school to defend themselves and their students.

We need to have policies in place in each school that limits access during school hours to one point. But that doesn't do any good if the people at that point or immediately beyond it, as in this case, don't have any real means of stopping someone.

Lockdowns can work in the right situations although in this case it probably would have made it easier for the BG to kill more kids if he had not killed himself when he did.

Escape through windows could also work although in this case it appears most of the kids were killed in one classroom. Probably no time for escape there.

It appears to me that the only thing that really could have stopped this one is a couple people armed at the entrance.

I need to talk to my school about that. I think they have the same problem.
