3. After a previous mass shooting

Maybe Aurora... maybe some other one...

Someone posted a video that was a "class" on how various gun owners responded to an active shooter situation. The class was given guns that were loaded with something like paint ball rounds only they didn't know it.

Each gun owner had a different level of skill and training with their firearm.

Then, at the end of the class, they had a "real" shooter enter the class and fake kill the instructor.

All of the class members tried to shoot back at the active shooter... I don't believe that even one got a kill shot on the shooter.

And at the end of the video, the instructor explained that unless you trained weekly like special forces or SWAT team members, your chances of killing an active shooter and thus protecting your fellow humans with you was practically zero.

Anyone bookmark that video?
