The best way to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person. Period, end of sentence.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Meet Antoinette Tuff, hero:

"He told me he was sorry for what he was doing. He was willing to die," Tuff told ABC.

She told him her life story, about how her marriage fell apart after 33 years and the "roller coaster" of opening her own business.

"I told him, `OK, we all have situations in our lives," she said. "It was going to be OK. If I could recover, he could, too."

Then Tuff said she asked the suspect to put his weapons down, empty his pockets and backpack on the floor.

"I told the police he was giving himself up. I just talked him through it," she said

1. Antoinette Tuff is a true hero. k&r

[kelliekat44]

8. I do hope some well-off person or persons out there help her with her medical bills for her disabled

son. She is they type of person this world could use more of.

2. Reason is more powerful then the sword. nt

[cali]

4. If only that were true. History, alas, is replete with examples where the sword

vanquishes reason.

[Javaman]

6. I never said that people don't die...

eventually reason does win out.

[cali]

7. I don't buy that either.

Reason sometimes wins out but it's rare.

[Javaman]

13. fine. that's your opinion. I choose not to share it.

cheers.

3. Good guy with a gun not a guy, had no gun.

5. She's wonderful; really a hero, but I think your title op/claim is

nonsense. Does anyone really believe that Anders Breivik, Adam Lanza and other mass murdering shooters could have been stopped by reasoning with them?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

9. you really don't know. how many potential heros missed their opportunity to act

prior to the madman going on their rampage?

[cali]

12. huh? what does that even mean? Prior to the rampage, they didn't know

so how could anyone act?

[struggle4progress]

10. Good work, Sister Antoinette!

[malaise]

11. A great lady
