Have you ever shot a Glock 45 or a 9M?

I have and many times....at Gun ranges of course. I gotta tell you--- These types of guns aren't easy to hit something with. They're powerful and from longer distances your chances of hitting a target are cut down dramatically.

In the movie Unforgiven--- There was a part at the end when William 'Bill' Munny played by Clint Eastwood went into the bar to kill all the bad guys. He walks in and and starts firing and they started firing back. They missed him because they were scared shitless. He wasn't and he killed them all. He was a cold blooded killer and the others were not. This made a big difference when the shooting started because shattered nerves made them miss the target---er Munny.

What this guy did today if indeed he was the lone gunman was, dare I say, unreal. His victims had to be literally paralyzed with fear. I've seen a couple of posts here on DU from folks who wonder why the VT kids didn't fight back. When you're that scared, you don't move. You keep your head down and pray to God the killer leaves or the cops come and take him out.

33 human beings---killed by one guy in less than an hour. Think about that.
