No guarantees
Firearms do not come with guarantees that they will help in every case. However, had this soldier been armed, or had the first police on the scene been armed, no one can convince me that this innocent young man's life might not have been saved. I am not concerned in the least that these two heartless muslim murderers might have been shot. Evidently the police who first arrived were forced (?) to stand around and "watch" til armed police arrived! This is the result of incredibly foolish policy. Those unfamiliar with firearms often seem to believe, as do many liberals in the USA, that firearms are inherently evil and that police cannot be trusted to use them properly.
