U.S. Air Force Col. Rob Maness (ret.) observed that attacks of this nature would be less likely if the right to keep and bear arms weren’t curtailed.  “Why is a right to keep and bear arms essential to a free society?” he asked.  “Because citizens should not be forced to pick up a narwhal tusk and fire extinguisher to stop a terrorist, that’s why.”

August 9, 2019
