Our "good guy with a gun" proponent still hasn't told us why 9 Houston police officers with guns couldn't stop a bad guy with a gun and paid with their lives. But, he's an NRA true believer so he won't answer that question.

No one is talking about home invasion. We were talking about a "good guy with a gun" in a public place. But thanks for comparing apples to oranges. Hope your kid doesn't shoot himself or one of his playmates with your unsecured guns.
