| 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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
