It's ridiculous that trained Marines can't be armed to defend themselves when they're attacked.

The Chattanooga shooter shot up TWO sites and he was actually shot in the woods where he fled when the cops (who were ARMED) showed up.

He didn't just walk up and shoot one person by surprise. He stood in front of the recruiting station and fired a whole bunch of shots into it ... obviously stopping to reload several times. If he'd gotten return fire at the first attack site, he might have been stopped BEFORE he drove across town to kill four Marines. Frankly, if he faced the prospect of return fire, he might not have attacked in the first place or would have run when he took return fire ... which is what he DID DO when the ARMED police showed up.

That means that everybody should carry a gun and everybody should be pointing that gun at ALL times.
Police don't do that. Let's face it, you're wrong. If your extreme illogical position were valid, police would be walking around holding their guns in their hands and pointing them at everyone they saw. Don't be such an idiot.
