every single time this happens most people I know will argue that every single person needs to be armed at all times. They'll say it's somehow more of a threat, and that shooters will be less likely to attack if they know everyone's armed. I asked one person how you could properly trust a stranger who you meet who's visibly armed. They didn't have an answer, rather a kind of "You just know if a person's a good person."

yeah I don't believe these kinds of attacks are done by people who have a long term strategy or even expect to live through the encounter. They don't assess the risk going in, they don't believe in a future and just go.

I'm for the working class being armed, but also organized.
