Wrong

Retard takes from a ‘veteran’ on social media:

Armed citizens SHOULD NOT be getting involved in gunfights involving police and criminals.

• 1) The police don’t know you from Adam so your presence with a gun only cause more confusion and the likely hood a innocent person including yourself gets injured
• 2) Most “armed citizens” I don’t care how many times you go to the range and shoot have no idea what it feels like when rounds are flying your way. Again its likely you would make the situation worse
• 3) Armed citizens should only use their guns in a defensive manner. This shit isn’t a movie!
• 4) Police have protections the average citizen does not. You shoot and kill anyone whether you are “trying to help or not” and you are civilly liable unless your life was in direct danger

Let’s address this idiocy by the numbers:

1. Don’t try to stop criminals from engaging in spree shootings, or the police might kill you because they don’t care whether or not they are shooting the correct person. How is that an indictment of private citizens and not the police?
2. Most cops don’t have any idea of what it’s like to be shot at. Less than 25% of cops are ever fire their weapons. It’s even lower for veterans. Even considering the lengthy GWOT, only 10–20% of all U.S. veterans have ever been engaged in combat, and most of those were IEDs or something other than small arms fire.
3. OK, and? The same is true for cops.
4. That’s incorrect. I can shoot to prevent someone else’s life from being threatened. I can shoot to stop a forcible felony. So that’s not exactly accurate, because real life is far more nuanced than you leftist simpletons can comprehend. Even so, cops shouldn’t be shooting people unless lives are in danger either.

Just because you were in the military doesn’t mean that you have more knowledge, legal or firearms related, than anyone else. It also doesn’t grant you rights or powers that anyone else doesn’t also have. So sit down and be quiet, adults are speaking.
