Much like the cops armed citizens are rarely right there when a crime is being committed I suspect if one was right there when the crime was in progress they would step up.Man goes on shooting rampage in Calif.; 3 killed - Live5News.com | Charleston, SC | News, Weather, Sports
A lunatic took a shotgun, and just selected random people in busy roadways and shopping centers to kill. His rampage continued, with 3 dead and others wounded, until the cops closed in and the coward killed himself. A few points:
- Everybody called 911. Begging for the cops to come help them, to protect them. Just a note to think about with local, state and federal budget talks. Your ass is protected by layers of men with guns. Some protect you from foreign invasion. Some protect you from lunatics like this.
- Not 1 single 'armed citizen' stepped up. Lots of witnesses. Lots of bystanders. Nobody stepped up. They simply called 911 begging for cops to come save their asses.
We keep seeing these mass shootings. And almost every time, the asshole is stopped either when he kills himself, or by a cop shooting him. I know it has happened, but it just seems rare to hear about a heroic private armed citizen stepping up rather than hiding behind cover and hoping the cops show up quick.
