Armed Resistance and 2. Gun-Free Zones.<\/p>\n<p>The gun community obviously supports training and arming civilians to confront mass killers. Meanwhile, the anti-gun community believes that mass killers can be stopped via policies and laws that create gun-free zones.<\/p>\n<p>Given that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2014\/10\/11\/report-92-percent-of-mass-shootings-since-2009-occured-in-gun-free-zones\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"organization-trains-770-teachers-for-active-shooter-situations\" title=\"Organization Trains 770 Teachers for \u2018Active Shooter\u2019 Situations\"> 92 percent of mass killings happen in gun-free zones<\/a> it should be self-evident for anyone who is not a hoplophobe or an ideological zealot that gun-free zones are wholly ineffective and that the optimal way to stop an \u201cactive shooter\u201d is to confront the threat with force, especially lethal force.<\/p>\n<p>But expecting an untrained civilian, like a teacher or principal, to stop a mass killer is a tall order.
