| Let me guess, they know absolutely nothing about the violent crime rates in Maine universities vs Utah universities, but they're there to provide expert witness testimony on the fantasies in their own heads, which is pretty much the only topic they are expert in. |

As usual, no provision for comments.
Go figure.
"The president of Maine's community college system says it's dangerous to have more guns drawn when police officers arrive."
The real question is the number of dead/injured bodies present when the police arrive. Which is more dangerous, being armed when the cops show up, or being DEAD?
"The University of Maine's police chief said it's extremely rare an armed citizen could stop an active shooter."
Only because in 99% of the cases, there are NO armed citizens present to stop an active shooter. The chief declares a negative, then challenges us to disprove it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
