Guns: One area where the U.S. is different

A note about mass shootings. My son noticed one thing different between the U.S. and other countries with strict gun laws: In the U.S., when there is a shooting, there is an immediate, overwhelming response by trained and armed police officers. In Cincinnati, the September 6 mass shooting on Fountain Square is a perfect example.

By the way, until there’s an official determination, my opinion is that the Fountain Square shooting was a suicide-by-cop situation. It’s sad that innocent bystanders also died.

Wayne LaPierre, you are a fool

In December 2012, Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association, was quoted as saying, "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun."

Today, two Las Vegas police officers, good guys with guns, were shot in the head and killed.

Last Wednesday, June 4, three Canadian police officers, good guys with guns, were shot and killed.

On Friday, May 30, a Norfolk, Virginia police officer, a good guy with a gun, was shot and killed even though he knew the person he was looking for was armed.

That's six police officers killed by bullets fired at them by bad guys in 10 days. Good guys with guns can't always stop bad guys with guns. Mr. LaPierre, you are a fool.
