Donald Trump’s ignorance is surpassed only by that of Ben Carson when it comes to guns at mass shooting events.  At least Trump didn’t invoke the Holocaust. What Trump ignores is that an armed vet named John Parker, who was in the vicinity when the Oregon gunman struck, says it’s good that gun toters didn’t get involved.

“Luckily we made the choice not to get involved,” he explained. “We were quite a distance away from the building where this was happening. And we could have opened ourselves up to be potential targets ourselves, and not knowing where SWAT was, their response time, they wouldn’t know who we were. And if we had our guns ready to shoot, they could think that we were bad guys.”

“Had somebody in that room had a gun, the result would’ve been better. I think that if you had the teacher, assuming they knew how to use the weapon, which hopefully they would, you would’ve been a lot better when this maniac walked into class, starting to shoot people.”
