Best answer!

No problem with that Romos,,it is a mans duty to help his fellow man,if i am ever in that position to save a dozen people from a madman murderer,i hope very much i would be man enough to blow his brains out,, or at least try,,we had a madman at the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania,35 dead 23 wounded,,he stopped to reload and nobody charged him,they sat under tables waiting for him to kill them,,i am not judging them,,they had their own fears and i was not there in their shoes,,but if one man had attacked him while reloading,,how many might he have saved,,how many family's might not be in mourning....

Terry those poor victims did not have a chance no matter how look at it, that poor little six year old girl was running for her life with Bryant running behind her whilst reloading an Assault Rifle and eventually blew her away, i was there just before and after this tragic event, the flowers laid out in front of the cafe was to me very misty.

Probably, and I'm sure I wouldn't be weighing the pros and cons, but acting in the moment, impulsively, a reflex.

As Clint Eastwood said, "killing a man is a hell of a thing". In a situation where the "Several others" were directly under immediate threat the answer is yes,I'm sure I could.

I am not sure! I think if someone threatened my family I could. I would need to be enraged to do it. But as I get older maybe I could do the deed to save 12 people. Hope I don't have the need for that. BTW Good Question!

I can't even think of a possible circumstance in which I might be required to make that decision. What made you think of such a question?

Duckster, you just had a mass gun killing in Canada. Wasn't it in Ottawa ? Well anyway, we just had another school shooting by a maniac at Flor State U. in Talahassee, FL. Luckily , the cops arrived fast for once and shot him dead.

This is not the exact video I remember so it's not as poignant , but if you watch it it may help you with seeking an answer to your question.

Yes, If a maniac was shooting up the library of a University, and I had a gun and could hide behind a post, then, yes, I would stop him from killing 8 or 10 more people . I would stop him with a bullet.
