“(Henry County Sheriff Lane) Perry wasn’t swayed by that line of thinking.Don't they also have a choice about tossing out uppity servants who forget their place?

This is the second arrogant "Only One" higher-up who presumes to limit your defense choices I've read about in the past 24 hours. Atlanta Gun Rights Examiner Ed Stone told us yesterday about Emory University Chief Craig Watson who...well here, I'll let Ed tell it:
After setting the scene, Representative Setzler asked the Chief whether he would prefer to see one of the fifteen or so people in the room with a gun put a stop to the killing.Craig and Lane have their guns because they're more trustworthy and have better judgment than the rest of us, you see. Just ask them.Chief Watson's response? He informed the committee that it was his feeling that more people would die if fifteen of the potential murder victims had guns than if the people were helpless, disarmed, and just waited for the police to respond and save them.
