So you're telling me a psycho was able to carry out that despicable act because relying on untrained kids to get in public shootouts with killers is a bad idea? Shocking...

Um the guys that were armed were military. Anyone who carries a weapon has to be trained to do so. The untrained armed kid was the one who killed everyone.

They were former military...Air Force I believe but enrolled as students at the community college. They chose not to become involved in the situation, which I don't blame them for but I'm just saying, guns don't mean these situations will stop.

I'm a USAF combat veteran and these guys did exactly as they were trained to do. They heard multiple shots in the distance and most likely chose to insure their own and the other students' safety to the best of their ability since they had ZERO idea of how many shooters they would be facing should they have gone on the offensive.

I'd have done the exact same thing under the exact same circumstance.

And if the active shooter would have entered their room, he wouldn't have left it was what I was getting at. Not that they become Rambo and chase the guy down. Just to clarify.
