Let me guess, they know absolutely nothing about the violent crime rates in Maine universities vs Utah universities, but they're there to provide expert witness testimony on the fantasies in their own heads, which is pretty much the only topic they are expert in. |

As usual, no provision for comments.
Go figure.
"The president of Maine's community college system says it's dangerous to have more guns drawn when police officers arrive."
The real question is the number of dead/injured bodies present when the police arrive. Which is more dangerous, being armed when the cops show up, or being DEAD?
"The University of Maine's police chief said it's extremely rare an armed citizen could stop an active shooter."
Only because in 99% of the cases, there are NO armed citizens present to stop an active shooter. The chief declares a negative, then challenges us to disprove it. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
