If the majority of the men in the shopping center in El Paso were armed, would it have reduced the damage done there? In the Old West, the murder rate was actually considerably lower than it is now nationwide. We should make firearm training mandatory for all men 18 and older.

Of course it would.

In Dayton 9 people died and over 20 shot in THIRTY seconds...so in answer to the OP


NO

When seconds count the police are minutes away. At what number or seconds do you think those victims wish someone had a gun to stop this guy? Third victim, 10 seconds in? Or the ninth at 30 seconds?

Or they don't show up at all.

The Supreme court has ruled that no police force is obligated to come to the aid of the public

Castle Rock v. Gonzales, No. 04-278. Ms. Gonzales did not have a "property interest" in enforcing the restraining order.

Not sure what that's supposed to mean without a link or an opinion.

Actually the murder rate in the old west, while not crazy like in the movies was worse than today.
