Once again, everyone misses the point. There were “trained professionals” on site at Virginia Tech. They were unable to stop the threat because they could not reach the threat. Until this country begins to obey the Constitution, namely the Second Amendment, and allow armed citizens to carry weapons, this kind of senseless tragedy will never stop, no matter how many “trained professionals” are around.

Paid armed professional can be a good countermeasure against a student going mad. However, it also adds the risk of the armed professional going mad; he’s a human too, with his own problems, and in case of a war vet possibly also with latent case of PTSD.

Quote: “An active shooter within a closed, confined space is only going to stop when one of several things happens:
They run out of ammunition
There are no targets within range
They take their own lives
An armed professional engages and “removes” the threat” End Quote.
An armed “professional”? How about an armed CITIZEN?

“So now you are criticizing the police? these guys put their asses on the line every day. Go back to waxing your pistol shallow water sailor boy. Why do you try so hard to prove your manliness, are you gay?“
No Sir, Are you a Police Officer?

You guys have not read the victims reports on the wikipedia have you? These are some of the things i noticed and are left as a random thought for you all to ponder.
A soldier did die trying to tackle the idiot.
Two Professors did die trying to save the students they taught one succeeded the other did not.
Bicycle chains were used to lock the doors so no one could escape. Professors and Classmates alike shunned this man and made him feel unwelcome disliked and pretty much expelled him from his classes. Students all think it is someone else’s responsibility for their safety parents think pretty much the same thing. It is YOUR responsibility no one else’s.
I get so tired of hearing hire more security, ban guns, and sue the officials for not keeping my kid safe. It is just not cost effective and generally not a good deterrent. Common decency would have been a good deterrent, as well as charity of the heart. It was plane as day obvious he was having problems at school, yet everyone doing something about it was doing the wrong things to him there needed to be balance to restore his balance.
Oh well there are my random thoughts

VA Tech had hundreds of armed guards on campus already.
They needed to:
Take stories of violent intimidation seriously (there were several that VA Tech ignored)
Have a lock down when a murderer is on the lose.
They did neither.

Hey Folks, I am enjoying checking in on this.
I do hope however, that you will at least give (PART 2) a read, to clarify alot of points you folks are making. I believe in a simple philosophy, “An Armed Citzenry is a Safer Republic.” I do not want to send “Blackwater” to Universities. I don’t want to turn Univ. L/E into roving ParaMilitary Teams.
You will read* (Christian has advised he needs to hold off until tommorow for Part 2) *that I simply place a plan that while still missing some components (and what I miss, I truly appreciate hearing from you.) < If we discuss, with dignity and respect eachother, there is a great deal of knowledge that can be put together just from this thread.…After all, if you read it up to now, its gotta alot of great ideas, really haven’t read any terrible ones.…So, lets all sit back, take a breath and wait for the bell on ROUND 2 (Ding!!) Have a good evening and its my honor to have this forum to share w/ you my thoughts. Sincerely, D. Woroner, pres. SCI
