A couple of people with guns could of stopped this.

However I don't agree with the title "A couple of people with guns could of stopped this". If there's a chance that a couple of civilians in the train station would carry guns then the attackers, who apparently had planned very carefully, wouldn't choose to use knives in the first place.

Gman did you notice his profile???

newb from boulder HMMM. I hate to be the one to harp on stereotypes, but this statement sure seems to fall in line with what we have come to expect from a boulderite. Disclaimer: I may be way off base.......

There are plenty of instances where the shooter, when confronted with security or private individuals who were properly armed with guns, gave themselves up or killed themsleves rather than continue their rampage.

The arapahoe high schooler and the mall shooter in Portland were the latest that come to mind.

this recent thread is of a 7 News story that ran recently about private individuals who defended themselves with their guns.

These people were completely unarmed. Does that not also seems to be the SOP of these types of attacks. Whether the perp has a gun or ten ninjas with blades they never attack people who would be able to defend themselves.
The ststement that a few poeple on this train with concealed carry permits or hell even a law abiding citizen with a knife of his own may very well have made a difference.

I am not looking to start a fight, but you are way off base.
