Love your comments, shootfirst. But part of the idea is to come out of it alive, isn't it? If you shoot first, you might get 2 or 3 of them before the rest of them get you... and then your family will have to put up with what is considered by most, a disgraceful act on your part (Google: police brutality. Then Google: good cops. You will see that there are more than 10 times as many good-cop hits as police-brutality hits. In general, people like cops.). So, what  is more practical than shooting first?

 I know, I know. shooting first might be the right and honorable way to go. But won't this help to give anti-gunners more ammo to disarm America? There must be a better way.

What's your plan? Show us your plan that we can implement, with courage and bravery, and that will get results. Or are we way past that, and there is nothing else besides "shootfirst" left?
