A little too late for the targets.
I wonder how many of them were packing so that in case "something happened" they could get the bad guy and be big heroes?
A 'good person' that suddenly becomes a bad guy can make anything deadly. If someone has jumped off the deep end they don't need guns to do it.
Not to mention the 'just in case' thing isn't for a mass shooting by someone holed up out of sight it's for when you are walking back to your car in the dead of night and someone attacks you.
Machine guns certainly make it more effective though.
And the whole point of an emergency is that you never know what form it will take.
