That young man would not have died in that police shootout if he enough firepower to keep the cops pinned down long enough to have escaped. Once again it's about the fundamental Second Amendment right to bear arms. The right to buy as many guns as you want. In whatever caliber you want. At whatever rate of fire you want. And most important of all.... the right to use them in whatever way you want. Given the proven psychological treatment benefits the thrill of the kill provides to even the most mentally deranged among us the continued availability of that form of treatment must be preserved..... A public service announcement from America's gun lobby.If everyone was carrying this would have never happend. Shame on Texas.
