Had to go to Bangladesh for it, ok my mistake for not clarifying, I'm talking about US problem. Sure, maybe once. But generally it's not that way, so who'd you rather arm? Nonteachers wandering into a school, or teachers?
We grow em' really stupid in Connecticut, or maybe she was an import. This one was almost too drunk to stand up. The cops at least waited until she emptied her gun before showing their faces.
That's kind of like passing a law that says "No punching anyone, ever, and for any reason". Those obeying the law have to stand there still, while those disobeying the law punch them. It makes no sense.
The problem, Pat, is... OK, there is a new law that someone obviously disobeyed when they used their gun. So you could use that law to stack on extra charges. That is, you could if the local DA would ever obtain an indictment. The laws we have aren't being followed. Why bother with a new law that applies to gun-wielding criminals? Now if we could only pass a law that would require district attorneys to actually seek indictments. But if it is itself a criminal law, then the DA would have to indict himself. Clear conflict of interests.
I hesitate to suggest any federalization-based solution, but what if that law were federal, doc? Then US Attorneys could pursue rogue DA's for failing to indict. Hmm. Not sure about that though.
