as a former USN Sonar Tech, then an ASWO, the US will NEVER compare to India/China/Russia when it comes to Submarines...

I'm having difficulty understanding what you are trying to say. Are you saying the killer wasn't a "bad guy"? Are you saying the person that stopped him wasn't a "good guy"?

someone not looking to argue, but use logic, would assume that this person meant

"someone with a gun should have stopped this guy before he shot 12 people, if the theory that a good guy with a gun will stop him, holds up"
