What? Even if you didn't have a gun for protection!!!!?

The passengers of other cars were not endangered and even the passengers in the car of the shooter could hope that he was going to shoot somebody else instead of them. That is why most of them chose to duck and hide rather than stand and fight. In that case, survival seemed more likely if you stayed hidden than if you made yourself a target.

Even when the sonofabitch stopped, to load individual rounds into the magazine of his pistol, reinsert the magazine, and go again? You know how long it takes to fill a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds without the aid of a set of stripper clips and a guide? In that time, you can easily disable somebody, especially if he's preoccupied with getting new ammunition into his pistol...

Donut, you could, but if you're dumb enough to bring a knife or bare hands to a gun fight, don't expect to walk away unscathed, or even alive for that matter.

Furthermore, if what you're trying to imply had a modicum of credibility, there would be no, or very few rapes in this country.
