(4,987 posts)why wait with wishful thinking that will happen? I have been against police
wasting time on drug busts. The war on drug has been a dismal failure. Just
like the prohibition on booze of the 1920's.
Police can't be everywhere at all the time. That is the crux of the problem.
In the Connecticut blood bath, the police responded pretty fast, but the damage
was already done.
We can't AFFORD to protect all adults. You want to run bigger deficits?
So we should at least protect the most vulnerable and innocent...the children.
I will soon acquire a firearm and take the responsibility to try to defend me and
my wife from an intruder. I am too old to fight the intruder physically. A gun will
give me 50-50 chance to defend successfully and frighten off the intruder before
the police arrive 5-7 minutes after a 911 call.
