It is bad enough that the citizens of New York are not allowed to protect themselves, now the police are responsible for shooting nine innocents. The mantra of anti-gunners is, “you don’t need a gun, just call the police.” Tell that to the nine New Yorkers who were shot by those who were sworn to “serve and protect” the public. Had one person in the area been allowed to carry a concealed gun and was in fact carrying, I submit to the reader that the gunman would have been stopped before the police arrived.
