acts of criminal violence are almost impossible to prevent.
there's an inverted correlation between armed response to such violence mitigating loss of innocent life vs. the committment and detail of said criminals.
had hotel staff and guests been armed, perhaps mumbai killers would've been stifled - or maybe not
los angeles police were armed, and outnumbered bogies during hollywood shootout, but conflict was not stopped instantly.
the ability to prevent or terminate violence is based on awareness, immediate response previous to the criminal violence unfolding, AND said response being both swift and severely more violent than the criminal act itself.
rkba and ccw, these make us free men - but not likely to impede terrorist acts.
