Long story still long, I said that the issue in hand here isn't even gun control. Had those men have been armed, who is to say they would have had the time to even defend themselves. You could be snuck up on, fired upon from a distance where you may or may not be visible.
The main point here is the extremely real threat of domestic lone wolf terrorism. The terror networks--isis or not--are clearly getting a message across to muslim americans (mostly younger, more influential minds) to carry out egregious attacks as such. Whether it be 1,000, 100 or 1 dead, it is all a victory, and that's what they push.
From what I had read about this kid that carried this murder plot out, he was a grad of UT-Chat, had a good electrical engineering job and had no rap sheet other than a DUI. Wasn't on any watchlist and was considered a "good kid" in his neighborhood, yet he just wakes up one day and decides to gun down four Marines?
We need to wake up and see the reality. There isn't enough information on this continent to detect who or who not is a threat to national security; and you can have all of the guns strapped to your body you want, but they are pretty useless when you don't see the attack coming.
My point here is, there's really nothing any of us can do, aside from wiping out these terror cells, which seems implausible at this point. The more these attacks becomes prevalent here, the more helpless you have to feel. Sad, brutal truths of 2015.
We see things differently - you are DEAD wrong.
IF the enlisted were armed, they would be able to defend themselves and mitigate the damage. But THAT IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT - something I'm guessing you will refuse to cede....
This coward assailant would have NEVER opened his heinous attack if it was not known that is was a firearm free zone. The mere threat of return fire is the EXACT thing that deters such attacks.... because they are cowards.
The left will never understand this, but an armed society is a free society. If our military bases were full of armed and trained shooters, we would NEVER have an attack on such installations. NONE whatsoever.
This loser is hell bent on being a real pain in the behind to society for some reason that we don't understand, or may understand more at a later date - I could not care less to be honest. If he did understand that all of the military folks were carrying sidearms, he would have never picked this as a location to be an idiot.
He would have picked a school or mall or some other government building with a no firearms policy. It is truly too bad to be an innocent bystander in such a location, but you need to choose your risks accordingly.
Free-Fire zones are an invitation to mass murderers. That has always been the case, and continues to be so.
