In response to the shooting of the journalists, how do you stop mass shootings?

[2aguy]

This is an opinion piece in response to an editorial in the Baltimore Sun.....

Gun laws won't prevent another mass shooting, but conceal carry would

Consider for a minute that the maniac who committed this crime started off by shooting out the glass in the front door. Anyone in that room was instantly alerted to the trouble, possibly before the first victim was shot. Anyone in that room with a gun could have stopped the aggressor before he completed his violent acts.
-------------------
In fact, gun control does not work. In 2012, there were 218 homicides in Baltimore. In 2017, four years after passage of that legislation, there were an astounding 343 homicides. The largest city in a state that brags about its strict gun control laws now leads the nation in per capita homicides.

During testimony in the last legislative session on a bill to ban mere possession of magazines holding more than 10 rounds, Baltimore police testified that not one of the shootings in Baltimore last year was perpetrated by a lawfully-carrying gun owner. Most criminals had prior arrests and should have been in jail, and far and away the weapon of choice was a handgun, not an AR-15 or a shotgun. More gun restrictions are not the answer.

We need designated counter-shooters, plain clothes, a vetted employee of whatever building, who is also police certified to kill would be mass shooters on the grounds and interior. The DSC (designated counter-shooter's) status would be unknown to most every other building employee.

I don't have a license to kill....but I have a learner's permit.
