1) An attack victim with a gun
2) An attack victim without a gun

They need to have a full scale inquiry and report to know that people who are armed have a better chance at defending themselves and others against the attacker

Oh, is that why law enforcement carry guns? Because it provides additional protection for themselves and others?
You don't f'ing say?

Never would have come to that conclusion without a presidential report

And this from people of power? Well it sure isn't brain power!
