Ok if you believe that then disarm all law enforcement in your area then.

Again, why are you and others pushing for staff being completely unprepared for prepared mass murderers?

Most(All?) these mass shootings happens in areas where the number gun bearing people were low. The mass murderer doesn't have much preparing to do.  Gun free zones are obviously stupid in a country where it's your right to bear arms.

The Texas shooting had armed teachers? It wasnt a gunfree zone?

So in the Texas incident, the assailant shot 400 hundred rounds in less then a few minutes, armored up and you believe if more people was packing something like this is not going to happen, that is a fantasy. 

Parkland had an officer on duty and we saw what happen there.

Answer this question for me, have you ever shot a hand gun.  

Have you ever shot a hand gun when being shot at

I have in both situations and I am telling you the movies make it seem easy to shot a hand gun but to actually hit a target is not easy at all. Then you take that situation and put it into combat situation and its on another level.  There seems to be this belief that just because someone is armed they are effective but the reality is that they can be just as much a danger as the assailant, shooting and spraying bullets all over the place.

The point again is that you seem to believe that we go back to the wild wild west and these incidents will decrease but the US lived that life before and going back to it not going to solve anything, instead every encounter will be a deadly encounter and its going to be who is the coldest killer and the fastest draw that lives to see another day.

Everyone daydreams that they would be Jack Bauer in a crisis. In reality, we'd all be more like Chief Wiggum. 

Aside from that, we already have the most guns per capita in the world by a pretty staggering number. Yet, these things happen frequently, in places where there are no special restrictions on guns. If more guns means more safer, then you would expect America to have the least mass shootings. Clearly, not the case. Permissive gun laws are directly correlated with more mass shootings.
