The Dread Pirate RobertsIn America, they say the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
But that just sounds like someone trying to sell two guns.
Rory@westly For real... Not to mention, a so-called good guy with a gun, can be a horrible person with one, to another... That good guy may turn out to be worse than the bad buy....
Cheryl G Kasson@customer228 @westly Not only that, but often a good guy with a gun gets mistaken for a bad guy with a gun and is shot down by the police. It happened not too long ago here in Colorado.

Yes. I haven't heard of it yet but I shudder to think of a mall full of random Good Guys With Guns trying to stop the one Bad Guy With A Gun and the cops trying to tell them apart while shooting.
It's just waiting to happen.
@vince @customer228 @westly It happened at a shooting in Arvada, Colorado awhile ago. A man came out of a sporting goods store to find a shooter in the town square and shot him down before he could kill more people. However, a police officer saw the "good guy with a gun" and shot him before he could explain or defend himself.
