If r's allow the population at large to be armed with military weapons, the only answer is to train LE to act like soldiers in a war zone. Because that's what we have. We have the highest rate of gun ownership (120 for every 100 people), and there is no reliable way to keep the guns away from murderers.

The r's are on their knees for the gun lobby, and won't pull their lips from asses no matter how reluctant LE is to intervene, no matter how many innocent victims die. This is the r's video game. They don't know how to play, but they sure like watching the carnage.
