The right person, with the proper training, could have taken all of them with a 22 matchmaster... Caliber of firearms, like TS said, has little to do with being able to defend ones self or stop a group of attackers such as this. It matters not what weapon, or caliber of weapon you have. What matters is your skill and training. Someone with a good knife can defeat someone with a firearm, if he or she knows how.
Stories like those are easily ignored by Bloomburg, Schumer, Feinstein, and the like. To them, (they have their own armed security) it doesn't matter what poor Joe Citizen has to deal with in their everyday life. They don't have the "life experience" to know their position on gun control is just plain stupid. They think criminals care about laws. This is the flaw in their logic.
