The police were up against one of their own who is trained with weapons, knows how to use them, knows police tactics, and had no block to unlimited access. Yet, this criminal was still unable to put up any resistance to the police with whatever he had.

Somehow the government is still scared of Mr. and Mrs. America.

Good grief, he was greatly outnumbered. That's the difference.

good point by you and others.

We are also forgetting that we have a branch of government that loathes “self help” because it neutralizes the need for that branch. That is the judiciary. Judges see the second amendment as competition. If citizens take care of problems then what will they do?

(not as if civil trials are all but extinct on the federal level)
