I Was A Cop In A Country With No Guns

Once again, Cracked delivers the humor, with a good dose of information.

So, where were all the good guys with guns?

This was Texas. I would guess there several hundred guns in the shooting area (not counting police). So, why did none of these people use their lawful guns to stop these lawbreakers?

Just a reminder: the reliability of information coming out is suspect

The media will put any wild ass guess on the air claiming an iron-clad source. It may be days, even weeks, before we get an accurate story. Anyone can post to Twitter and claim anything. A lot of people with a lot of guns in Texas.

People are hungry for news and frightened, and the media is perfectly willing to scare people with rumor, innuendo, and flat out fabrication.
