In reply to the discussion: off duty Texas cop responds to honk with bullet aimed at motorist's head [View all]Doctor_J
(36,392 posts)39. Well give me slightly expanded explanations of these attitudes among the 2A crowd
"The only person who can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun"
"The problem is that these schools are all 'gun-free' zones so the shooter is the only one with a gun"
