Looking through the comments section, here are a couple of real gems:
“Armed civilians = A bunch of idiots conned into believing they too can be Dirty Harry. The truth is that they will for the most part be paralyzed by the decision making and adrenaline taking place in a fire fight. When the shooter is not hesitating they will. Or they will be mistaken for the shooter by police. Or they will commit suicide with their gun before they get a chance to play out their Dirty Harry fantasy.”
“In November, we patriotic Americans are going to stomp you gun worshiping fascists into the f*cking ground.”
Re the first quote: The author is saying that we should simply live at the mercy of killers for the illusion of safety. Complete disconnect.
