While that may be true one of the worst mass killing in US history took place back when you could buy a machine gun over the counter. Sad part is that no gun was used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster. Then you have McVeigh. With people like that running around there is no security. Only the false sense of it. To the anti gun nuts a gun free society grants that false sense of security. The sad part is that these people don't understand that a large portion of gun killings are done with guns illegally obtained in the first place by people who are barred from possessing a gun.
But I maintain that had there been an armed person on that train what makes you think they wouldn't have been the first one shot? Or that once bullets started flying that they would have done anything. Most of the people on here who have never heard a shot fired in anger can only claim what they would like to do in that situation, not what would happen. They could wind up being a hero or a zero, cowering on the floor begging for their life. The simple facts are that charging into a building where you don't know what the tactical situation is when it's dim at best, with screaming people who are panic stricken with an active shooter isn't the smartest or best solution around. Yea, if you have a family member in there or a close friend you do what you have to do. But otherwise the best bet is to not make yourself into a victim trying to be a hero. Would I run into a school full of small kids? You bet I would. Would I run into a theater or bar? Not unless I knew I could do some good. IF I were in one of those buildings when the shooting started and didn't have an easy out I'd do what I could. And I've had training in counterinsurgent operations and anti terror operations. And I'd be very careful as to what I did. I'd hate to cause more harm than good. Remember, you start blazing away, keeping in mind the stress levels you will be facing, the dim lighting and panicking people you have more of a chance of killing an innocent person than you do the bad guy. Then you have to live with that.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
