So, what you are saying is that everyone should be a lemming, chicken, or whatever wimpy character that illustrates "coward" and just hope that the gov knows what is best for us. That is without question, right? So, instead of showing any kind of resistance, one should just cower and plead for mercy? Sorry, but in my America we protect ourselves and our own and do not cotton bullying. Just because someone has an opinion, based on ignorance does not mean the majority needs to suffer their weakness. If folks expect a cop to be there to protect them, then they are also ignorant of the Cop's role in our country. COPs will take your report AFTER the crime is committed. If their mere presence prevents a crime, great. Sorry, but there are not enough police to go around. If you are scared of guns, then don't purchase one. But, don't presume to make that decision for others.
I am more worried about a mentally challenged person wielding a hammer as a weapon than a gun. If he has a gun, then I can use lethal force to disable him. With a hammer, there may be a question of whether or not lethal force was necessary.
