Weapons don't make the man.

Weapons are inert, inanimate objects with no will or volition.

“Weapons don’t make the man.

Glad you understand that. Military and Police training don’t make the man either.

Heart makes the man.

Now we ask what should a normal man born in India. Has the influences of a couple hundred years of British culture do when he sees multitudes being machine gunned in the street?

He should adopt a prone position steady his weapon and squeeze off a round at the nearest terrorist.

No?

He has had some training-even you will admit. He also has worked through some scenarios in his mind-—law enforcement types do that-—even in India.

These men had everything they needed (as the photographer rightly recognised) to limit the number of casualties.

Admit it my friend. Your pusillanimous excuses for these reluctant cops carry no water.

I hope you would do your duty in a situation like this.

If not, you need some heart surgery.

No but a guy with a nuke can kill a lot more people than a guy with a firecracker.

My firearms are not inanimate. They reach out and touch things. :)
