    | I'm sure Mr. Smith does not feel Donald Trump's life is more valuable than his life — or my life, yet Mr. Trump, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama, all past presidents and most of the politicians in this country (particularly those screaming for gun control) are protected by bodyguards in one form or another who have AR-15s or their equivalent in their arsenal.
 
 If they are entitled to protection in a form that is commensurate with the bad guys, so is Mr. Smith and so am I.

 He disagrees with NRA to arm every teacher: "if he sees a gun, he's going to shoot them." He didn't mince words there at all. No discernment, just drop them. He also mentioned a 2 to 5 minute response time for swat "which is still too long". Of course that may be too long for the victims to wait, especially if the gunman knows this tidbit. He did mention several good examples of sheep, sheepdogs and wolves as he calls them. Guys that CCW and think they're sheepdogs,

    | but are sheep in sheepdog clothing. They won't pull the trigger in certain circumstances. The tacoma mall shooter: CCW thought he looked like a boy, couldn't shoot him. Shooter put 5 in him from AK and he's paralyzed now. Another was a couple witnessed guy shooting g/f in the leg, he went over with his wife and gun drawn, tells guy he really shouldn't have done that and put his gun down. Guy gets out of car and shoots him in the face, killing in front of wife. Jesus' son was in a mass shooting at school, he did 100mph on hwy 16 to get there and called him en route, heard heavy breathing as son was running away from scene..

                      | The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them...  — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |  |  |
