If a drive-by shooter was answered with a hail of bullets that turned the vehicle into a collander, there would be darn few drive by shootings.>[?I have stunned some friends by stating that I have no problem with the idea that if the gun control laws didn't exist, every black might have a gun ; and hopefully every white,red,yellow, and brown person too. As I remind people the bad guys are already carrying guns, it is only the good guys who are likely to be arrested solely for being preepared to defend themselves and theirs.
If the people in the vicinity of the sniper were armed ,then they could have long ago stopped him ; instead they can only "run in a zig-zag fashion".
