Are you saying they are really psychos or not?
They are people who, to generalise a profile, feel they have been totally rejected by society and reject it back, they choose as their targets the very people who rejected them or proxies thereof.
Besides, there will always be someone not armed somewhere, would you expect elementary school children to carry guns, and nurses in hospitals? You can't arm everybody, that would be insane. Or they will get a sniper rifle instead and shoot from where they can't be shot back. This has happened, I think.

I think anyone who kills is psychotic. That may not be the clinical definition
And I would rather them shoot a single person from afar than wander in and kill a whole bunch of people. This last shooting, the big magazine jammed (as they do) and the guy tried to fix it, eventually giving up for a pistol. Had someone been armed, something could have happened.
Nurses should not have to be armed, but they also should not be disarmed. If someone come's on my missus' ward looking to kill, I'd rather she be able to protect herself. As it is, she is prohibited from having a gun on the floor, but that does not bar the gang bangers who have come there looking to finish a job they started in the meth house.

I've killed loads of stuff but never a human. That doesn't make me a psycho.
