David Pakman interviews a "pro-guns in public places" supporter:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/101786988

He tells that the Oregon mall shooting was stopped by someone with a "illegal" gun (he was packing even though the mall had a "no guns" policy--a "minor infraction" as he puts it). When he pulls his gun, the shooter sees it and kills himself.

Oh yeah? So these monsters will kill themselves when they see someone pull a gun on them? With that logic, let's all carry plastic "toy guns" that look real. They are harmless but when pulled on someone shooting with a real gun, that shooter will kill themself.

Yeah, that'll work!
