Good guy with gun vs bad guy with gun

Easy solution, dufus don can put in a rush order to China & get those children working double overtime to make some more hats.
Like in the old cowboy movies, the good guys get white hats, the bad guys get black hats. Of course they need to be labeled also.
Problem solved.

to take down one Bad Gun with a Gun in Orlando. It took a ROBOT with a Bomb to take down one Bad Guy with a Gun in Dallas.

So how many "Good Guys (Civilian) with Guns does it require to take down ONE Bad Guy with a Gun when fully trained LEO'S cannot? How many 50? 100? Maybe the NRA can push for every child born in the US be issued a gun at birth, and ALL Citizens be required to own and know how to use guns? This 2nd Amendment Militia they so like talking about.

making it even more chaotic and harder for law enforcement to know who's bad.

There were armed security officers and off duty police on scene of several mass shootings but they did not use it because they were not in uniform and didn't want to be shot by mistake.

In Orlando, there were some innocent bystanders shot by police due to the chaotic situation of people running around in a dark nightclub.
