Some more on simulations.

How to do a good experiment? I will think about and discuss with some other techy types who do this sort of thing.

"What I do believe, is that armed Citizens, highly trained or not, will react in some manner not expected by their attackers, and will certainly result in a different outcome than the attackers anticipated."

Isn't that the point of the study, to determine if that will indeed occur on a fairly certain basis?

Whether or not it results in active shooters taken out by head shots fired by secretaries at 17 yards is not the point of running a study. Does it increase the odds of survival for the innocents in the situation, or not? That's the entire point.

Wasn't there a recent battle between congress and O about funds for the purpose of "studying gun vioence"? Maybe such a study as this one could be added as a "compromise" by pro-2A representatives.
