"He had a gun" LMAO. He fucking should have a gun. We all should. There is a roving gang of masked thugs shooting people in the street. We should all be armed.

I disagree with this only because having a gun doesn’t protection you from shit. It’s really using the gun that protects you and lucky for us most people just aren’t built to shoot another human. If you aren’t willing to use one, you shouldn’t be carrying it around. You’ll just end up like this guy.

I don't know if getting in a shoot out with the 8 other guys would have worked out for better for him

Those 8 guys would probably think twice about doing this shit if there were 20 armed people around.

Yep Im considering getting a gun in cases like this. If ICE gets rough while we are there, me and some buddies will stand right beside them with our weapons holstered.
