That was the point, the kid was mentally unstable, he would have obtained the weapons from any one of a number of sources, its proven, if someone has mayhem on their mind nothing will stop them. This nation was built upon and exists today primarily because of their policy of "peace though strength". And its also proven that the "predators" of this world take advantage of the weak and "defenseless". But, its senseless to argue the point that if "anyone" would have faced this kid down before he fired the first shot, the many lives that were lost needlessly that day would have never been lost. That's exactly what it took...after the fact. In today's society, any instructor that had the courage to stand up to this kid and take his life probably would have served time themselves. BD
