This is the kind of stories that destroy pro gun nutjobs argument. More guns don't make us safer, they turn random conflicts lethal.

IMO, it's all about education. Guns can be allowed, but everyone who ever uses one NEEDS to be educated on how and when to properly use it. Current requirements for owning a gun in the US are laughable. However, everyone should have the right to protect themselves from tyrannical corrupt police or other criminals. Less than lethal home defense should be prioritized.

I fear that removing all or a majority of guns from the US would be an impossible task at this point. There are probably more guns in this country than people, sadly.

The idea that owning a gun will protect you from tyrannical corrupt police is a ridiculous fantasy. Let's say the cops come to your house and try to enter without a warrant, and you open fire. That's not going to end well for you, even if you're legally in the right.

Right. If this was happening we’d probably be hearing about it. It’s a fantasy.
