You think that you will have better results in a situation like San Bernadino and other shootings?

I think citing a test in which the participants were set up to fail, one in which the 'shooter' knows all who are 'armed', is well, meaningless.

But lets just cut to the chase shall we?

You're out and about, and a mass shooting unfolds before you, two floors below you in the building you're in.

Would you rather have a gun, or be unarmed?

I'd take 'armed' for 500 alex, how about you.
