Which makes the argument for civilians arming themselves for self-defense all that much stronger.

Of course the civilians should arm themselves. WHO cares about us more than WE do?

Some folks still don't get it. Like John Harwood of CNBC.

John Harwood @JohnJHarwood
so it turns out a good guy with a gun was there, with sheriff’s dept training no teacher will ever have, and he didn’t stop the bad guy with a gun

No, there wasn't a good guy with a gun there, only an illusion of one.

That's why it is better to not rely on the promises of others, and take responsibility for yourself.

I'm sure Harwood doesn't think he is being snarky. I'm sure he speaks what he considers to be the gospel truth according to the Holy Church of Universal Liberal Knowledge.

The inability of a "good guy with a gun" to prevent this mass shooting is all the evidence needed that the only possible solution is to abolish civilian access to guns.

"lack of training" where the hell did you get that from? So they need to spend six months in Chicago to get proper training, thats a pretty thick blue line you're drawing Gus.
They are and will forever be remembered as the "Broward Cowards".

Where did I get "lack of training" from? I got it from this link that JustRalph submitted earlier:

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/fo.../24/id/845273/

In the attached article, former NYC Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik called for the resignation of the Broward County Sheriff...on the grounds that "This department needs new leadership and obviously training".

What...you think that I make stuff up around here?

So what kind of training should those deputies had: Air dropped into to some hot war zone somewhere? Or spend a week or two in Chicago, perhaps? But...if they are expected to survive those kinds of live fire experiences, wouldn't they need previous training under live fire? (Do you see the problem here?)
