    doesn’t that render the whole question as nonsense? do you think there’s an expectation (among the 2a idiots) out there that good guys with guns are immediately emptying clips at anyone who is bad and also has a gun? how would they know?

    this is the secret service’s job, and they performed it. doing the “good guy with a gun” bit is so obviously out of place here, no matter what you think of guns or trump or the secret service. save it for situations where it actually makes sense.

      Ah. I think you have entirely missed my sarcasm of “good guy with gun stops bad guy with gun”.

      Most countries have armed security/police without also having a heavily armed population. Plenty of comments of “if you ban guns only bad guys have guns” nonsense.

        No, I haven’t. I understand the irony of saying everyone should carry guns when in reality private citizens with guns almost never affect shooter situations, and when they do, it’s most likely by getting shot or shooting someone innocent.

        What I’m saying is, the bit doesn’t land if the premise makes no sense. This is a scenario where it makes no sense.
