Can’t remember the freeper’s name, but he was on a thread about the attack shortly after it began, was near one of the areas attacked, and was discussing this.
He said since the residents there can’t own guns, there is no place to even buy them.
My first thought is an armed resident could have taken at least one of the attackers out and saved a few lives.
I suspect these cowardly bastards wouldn’t be so brave if a fusillade of bullets came at them.
