Showing Original Post only (View all)If i am a teacher with a CCW and "a good guy with a gun" small enough to conceal [View all]
And a bad guy comes in with assault weapons with large magazines I should be able to jump out and kill or incapacitate shooter with my small concealed weapon then why is there a need to manufacture the assault weapons? It would be case closed according to NRA Wayne LaPierre, just need smaller weapons to arm teachers, we could melt down the large weapons and arm everyone. It would also end the need for Alex Jones and Pratt to be interested in large weapons.
