This is why we can’t disarm the citizenry

“A young off-duty sheriff’s deputy” kills five people. The anti-gun people shriek, “See, even the authorities can’t control the evils of guns!” The problem with this reasoning is that we’re not going to disarm governments. Police and military are going to continue to arm themselves. Very few of those people will act as Mr. Peterson did on Sunday, but others will sell department weapons to criminals either for money or because of criminal involvement. Other weapons will be stolen from unattended vehicles or even evidence rooms. As long as there is a weapon in existence, there exists a possibility of it falling into the wrong hands.
The answer is to allow people a chance of defending themselves. Wisconsin is one of only two states that completely prohibit their citizens from carrying weapons. (”Bearing arms” is the constitutional expression.)
