I'm still waiting for the NRA to call for volunteer "Armed Guards at every Armed Forces base!". I'm sure if civil minded armed guards had been at Fort Hood, that mass shooting wouldn't have taken place. Doesn't the NRA care about soldiers?

Police were idiots in this case. In areas where you're handling suspects, you don't have unsecured weapons, so if someone does get out of control, they have no weapons to grab.

Now it makes sense that US citizens needs guns - if even trained officers of the police can scew up that horribly protecting the public, it's much safer if people are armed and ready to protect themself.

I say we build a fleet of armed drones capable of identifying firearms to fly around and fire on anyone possessing a gun or storing one in their residence.

But give a few days grace period to let people who want to live the chance to get rid of their toys.

Police officers have clear rules of engagement. They are supposed to be cautious about using their weapons, especially while a suspect is wrestling with other officers for control of a weapon.

In the good ol' days the officers would have beaten him into submission before he got to the station house.
