SCOLAI: IF SOMETHING ELSE ISNT FIGURED OUT QUICK, ITS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. WHEN THESE BAD GUYS START SHOWING UP IN PAIRS, OR MORE, INSTEAD OF ALONE. IF EVERYBODY NEEDS TO CARRY A GUN, WHATS THE POINT OF TEACHING SELF DEFENSE, OR DO YOU ALSO TEACH THEM TO SHOOT AT THE GUN RANGE BEHIND YOUR DOJO? I HATE TO THINK WHAT OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS ARE GOING TO ENDURE KNOWING THAT FUCKING MORONS BELIEVE THAT GUNS ARE OUR ONLY SOLUTION.
We've had numerous occurrences of multiple attackers - Columbine; Jonesboro, AR; San Bernardino, CA; STEM School Highlands Ranch. Yes, firearms are effective against these types of attacks.
Did you read the
Secret Service Analysis of Targeted School Violence? It came out last year. It clearly states that in every occurrence of targeted school violence since 2009, there have been exactly ZERO shootings that were stopped by police responding from off campus (pg. 12). So, either people carry the means of effectual resistance to violence themselves or they die at the hands of a madman. I'd prefer to see the former.
Finally, your complete and utter ignorance of self-defense is glaringly apparent. First, I don't, "believe that guns are our only solution." They are *A* solution to be used under a very specific set of circumstances. And my wife is the one working on being an NRA-certified firearms instructor. Outside of the dojo? Not so much. Down at the range? You bet your fucking ass she will.
There is a thing called escalation of force and disparity of force. If you can't explain either of those defensive concepts (without using Google), then you are woefully under-prepared to have this conversation. Suffice it to say, you are way out of your league in this discussion.
