"Don't confuse Mika Brzezinski with the facts. She's anti-gun and is not about to let some stunning counter-evidence change her mind.
If ever there was an illustration of how an armed citizen can make a difference, it is the case of Jeanne Assam, the brave woman who took out the killer at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. And yet . . .
On today's Morning Joe, Mika -- in newsreader mode -- dutifully reported the incident. But when Joe Scarborough sought to draw the logical inference, Mika put her anti-gun foot down."

How does this woman remember how to breathe?

Of course they can. It happened at the school in Louisiana too. Anti-gunners don't argue based on facts and logic, they argue on emotion.
Which, of course, is pretty much always a losing argument, but it doesn't seem to slow them down.

I don't think so, if you get off the first shot clean, & hit the target, maybe, but if you miss, you will only add to the chaos at the moment, & possibly be targeted by the police if/when they show up.
If you are a good shot though, good luck!

Some people can be led to, shown, then tossed in a pond and can still die of dehydration.

Can they stop a shooting spree? Absolutely!
Should they stop a shooting spree? If it can save the life of another, absolutely!

Probably not, but it is clear that a person carrying a handgun can start a shooting spree.
It happens all the time.
