Scenario: Wacko in a crowd with a gun starts shooting. *People all
around him have guns, too, and they start shooting at the wacko. *How
many bystanders get shot by the people in the crowd defending
themselves?
Answer: *Too many.
Moral: *The wacko with the gun will always "win".

============

This is all theoretical unless you have some idea of how many people in the
crowd were carrying guns, but did not use them. We already know of at least
one.

I eagerly await your further information.

Reread what I wrote - I am talking about a generic scenario, not what
happened in Tucson. The generic scenario does not play out - the
shooter will always win - people will die. The more people with guns
that try to stop the shooter, the more people will die as nobody's aim
or reaction is perfect.
