Just one trial for the 300 million defendants that all operate in exactly the same simple way will be sufficient.

It is not just the cops, it is the 300 million guns the civilians they serve and protect have lying around and concealed everywhere....it is a national sickness out of control.

Everyone has a gun, statistically speaking, and it seems everyone is willing to use them or have them lying around for any situation...with the usual results.
