Thread: 28 Dead CT School Shooting

This is a tragedy and my heart and prayers go out to the families of those killed but I still can't help but wonder...what if Ms. Soto had a gun of her own? All the mass shooters over the past years I've seen have one thing in common. As soon as they're resisted, they give up or blow their brains out. The Virginia Tech shooter surrendered as soon as the cops showed up, Adam Lanza committed suicide as soon as the police arrived, James Eagan Holmes surrendered as soon as police showed up, the Oslo shooter gave up when the police showed up, when Wade Michael Page the Wisconsin Sihk Temple shooter was shot by police, he committed suicide. All these people have one thing in common. They prey on the weak and defenseless. Toddlers and Teachers can't protect themselves, no guns are allowed in movie theaters which are fertile killing grounds if you have the right vantage point as it is teens in fairly anti-gun nation won't be fighting back, Sihks are peaceful as it is and on top of that they were at a temple which is also a fertile killing ground if you know how to use it. The V Tech shooter knew no one on campus would have a gun so that meant no resistance from them either. In the end, all these people were cowards with pathetic and sad lives as well as usually mental issues that weren't entirely their fault. It is my opinion that if they were resisted by the first person they encountered a teacher for instance they would either be killed by that person OR surrenderleavekill themselves. Israel is a decent example. Their school teachers carry guns fairly regularly and have all likely served in the IDF so they DEFINATELY know how to use them and the number of students they've had killed in shootings over the last 10 or so years? about 8. 8 people. We've lost around 300. Israel is literally a war zone that terrorist groups make their private playgrounds and on top of that almost the entire population are war veterans. In the end, all of this could've been prevented. Virginia Tech could've been stopped, Oslo could've been stopped, the Sihk Temple and Aurora shootings could've been stopped. It all could've been stopped if someone that owned and trained with a gun was present. I, my brothers and a few friends are big into self defense especially for active shooter situations and frankly, the Virginia Tech shooter would've been a laughable risk to any one of them assuming they were armed the Oslo shooter had an advantage thanks to open terrain and a rifle which we also have, we just CARRY handguns the Sandy Hook shooting wouldn't have been too hard for my oldest brother to end he's SWAT trained anyway, and rifles like Lanza had are cumbersome in confined spaces like classrooms and hallways so the shooter would've been easily outmaneuvered by someone like my brother with a semi-auto handgun the Aurora shooting, eh, that likely wouldn't have ended well for us. I mean, my oldest brother might have been able to take the dude out but that would've been dependant on his location in the theater. By in large though, if just my oldest brother had been at any of these shootings at the right time and place, I'm confident he could've stopped them right there. Sorry about the monolouge. In conclusion, this is a horrible, horrible tragedy that could have been easily prevented but wasn't and won't be until people stop spinning this for their political agenda be it gun control, mental health, violent video games or etc. The victims will always be in our thoughts and prayers. May their souls rest in peace.
