When the problem is guns in inappropriate places, adding more guns to those places only ups the potential for bad stuff happening.

Do you have training in the use of a firearm? Do you have training on use of a firearm in a crowded, chaotic situation?

If you aren't the only armed civilian, are you confident you can determine which of the other gunmen is trying to kill innocents and which are trying to stop that person? What if another "hero" guesses wrong and shoots you? Or just aims at you? Do you *know* whether he's the bad guy? Having to guess puts you and others at greater risk of being shot.
