More Guns = More Unused Guns
Some assume that one or more armed good guys can be expected to bring down the bad guys in such situations.
But the bad guys, after all, are bad.
Off-the-scale monsters.
Human beings to them are ducks on a wheel at the midway and they usually know it’s going to end with their own deaths.
Mateen did.
They often train for their heinous acts as well.
Hitting 103 people trying desperately not to be hit, even in a packed area, takes some skill.
The good guys, however, rarely have such advantages.
All they have in common with the bad guy is that they bought a gun and are carrying it.
They cannot be expected to be good marksmen; they cannot expect to be ruthless killers and they certainly cannot be expected to be willing to sacrifice their own lives.
