Look, I'm
... not a pacifist. Lord knows, the memory of Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, and Huey P. Newton won't let that happen. And I believe we have the right to bare arms but all this gun talk has me concerned.
It's easy to sit at a PC or click away on your pocket PC and talk about taking someone else's life without any thought behind it. But to actually kill, murder someone? Well that becomes a different story. And when you're being held at gunpoint, what good is your gun if it's in a different room? What good is it if the gun or guns become part of the items stolen?
I'm not saying not to do what you need to do to be safe but let's not think that a gun or an arsenal is going to save the day as the answer to all prayers. Let's not forget that the US has the one of the biggest arsenals in the world and it didn't prevent some guys from hijacking a couple of planes and flying them into skyscrapers killing hundreds of people.
I agree, this robbery looks like it was planned and so, folks, their place was cased. In my opinion, a gun's not going to help at that point. Now a Pitbull Terrier and a gun...
