Both were horrible, that goes without saying. The S/H tragedy doesn't even come close to 9/11 though.

Let's not forge those liberals called NRA terrorist because NRA wants to put security guards in school or allow school teachers who have CHLs to carry guns. Liberals fought armed security in school so hard that one must believe that liberals don't want security guards in school because they don't want to be shot at next time they shoot up a school.
I've worked in suburban schools. There should never ever be guns there, not even to the most honorable level headed teacher.

Because you think it is better to have unarmed victims instead of a dead attacker?

A person with a concealed carry permit it 8 times less likely to commit a violent crime than the average citizen.

Right, no mass murderer shall face armed resistance from his victims.
