There are lots of valid points above. I wonder if a non-lethal device (gun with plastic/rubber bullets, bean bag round, etc, stun gun, or similar) would be sufficient to stun the shooter, and allow lots of people to overpower the shooter. This keeps the person responding to a shooter from killing someone by accident, but provides a possible way to overpower a shooter.
I do have concerns about the potential for accidents if there are lots of armed senior citizens running around with loaded guns.
Please do not shoot (pun intended) me, this is just my humble opinion.
