A firearm is an equalizer
Another recent attack by a mentally disturbed individual in a public place that turned out differently.

In this one the weapon was a bow, and there were 2(!) CCWs present, who used their firearms to stop the attacker until police arrived.
In a gun-free zone we have a young girl horribly murdered, in a pro-gun area there were no fatalities and the mentally disturbed attacker will hopefully be locked up and receive the treatment she needs.

If this is true, first question is what constitutes a "kitchen" knife in this instant case? Beheading someone with such an instrument takes a little time.. it is not likely to be over in a matter of seconds. More like close to a minute.

So if people stood around watching this guy cut through a young woman's neck and did nothing for perhaps up to a minute or so, you really have to wonder about them.
I agree and I would not have needed a gun to do something. I really don't believe that I would stand by claiming I was helpless just because I don't have a gun on me. I still have two hands and some strength left so this whole idea of needing to be armed is bravado.
