Well, in some sense, that's precisely what the Secret Service was in this case -- the proverbial good guy with a gun.
I think the fringe 2A people basically want a world that is some combination of the wild west from movies and a militarized society filled with bodyguards and escorts.
Note: they all always assume they're a protagonist or antagonist in this hypothesized world, i.e., they're always the person with bodyguards, a body guard, or an outlaw with a gun moving through the tumbleweeds. They're never all the random people killed along the way.
I literally said excluding professionals.
That doesn't mean they can't discuss it Jesus Chris Lemmy simmer down. This isn't couples therapy
doesn't that render the whole question as nonsense? do you think there's an expectation (among the 2a idiots) out there that good guys with guns are immediately emptying clips at anyone who is bad and also has a gun? how would they know?
this is the secret service's job, and they performed it. doing the "good guy with a gun" bit is so obviously out of place here, no matter what you think of guns or trump or the secret service. save it for situations where it actually makes sense.
Ah. I think you have entirely missed my sarcasm of “good guy with gun stops bad guy with gun”.
Most countries have armed security/police without also having a heavily armed population. Plenty of comments of “if you ban guns only bad guys have guns” nonsense.
