"If only those police officers were armed, they could have defended themselves."

[Electric Monk]

This event in Dallas shows how that line of reasoning is just so much bullshit that should not be taken seriously.

1. Yeah. Too bad there wasn't a good guy with a gun around.

3. If only we could convince bad people from doing bad things - the world would be a much

nicer place. Why are people so mean to one another?

Sigh...

[TeddyR]

4. What?

Thankfully there were armed police officers there or it would have been much worse.

6. Reports (CNN) are they finally took out the sniper with a robot bomb, not a gun.

Ironic enough for you?

5. The Dallas event.

Pretty much renders that NRA talking point moot.

It is going to be interesting to see what direction the NRA's reaction to this (as well as the two prior events this week that lead up to last nights tragedy) is going to take. Are they going to double down and remain steadfast in their zero tolerance for compromise position or admit that we have a problem and need to address it with solutions in a mature manner.

7. History would suggest they're locked in to the double down strategy. NT

8. I think you are right.

9. So much bullshit !!!
