I'll tell you exactly what most likely would have happened. Some lives would have been saved.

There has already been examples of students or teachers stopping maniacs in schools on killing sprees.

In the late 90's a Vice Principal stopped a shooting spree with his gun....

A few years back a few students stopped a shooting rampage at the Appalachian School of Law....

The media refuses to discuss incidents where guns save lives.

The Salt Lake City Mall shooting a couple of months ago was stopped by an off duty cop walking around the mall. A guy who happened to be there and had a gun on him.
