These firefighters were VOLUNTEERS

[Cherchez la Femme]

61. Concealed carry? Assault weapons? + 30 weapon clips?

It's out of control.

Nobody's trying to take your rifle or shotgun away from you.
For those weapons we DO ask they be secured. It's called responsibility.

But that other crap is ridiculous, ESPECIALLY in a civilized society -- I don't even think it'd be tolerated in a Civil War.

Stop the madness, having those options does NOT make overweight Joe 'Murican Schmoes into Rambo (a fictionalization, BTW), it makes them into zeroes like Charles Whitman; a dead loser with way too much --not saying even a little is OK-- innocent, no-reason-in-the-world, blood on his disgusting hands.

IMO he, and so so many others like him, are no better than Ted Bundy.
Congrats to them,
but NONE should have had the firepower --or the rights-- accorded to them just by the accident of birth of being born in the USA.
Why?
Look up 'militia' sometime -- it does not mean an unsupervised, lone and random killer.
