Arming citizens will cut murders

Recently, a nut killed almost

30 as he strolled up and down the aisles of a church. The nut would have kept it up until he killed the entire congregation were it not for a neighbor who heard the shots and ran over barefoot with his own automatic rifle. If any member of the church had a gun, the nut could have been stopped his first trip down the aisle.

Nuts, criminals and terrorists can strike anywhere at any time. The only practical solution is to have armed citizens everywhere. Why not recruit highly trained vet volunteers, and pay them for having their gun with them at all times? Arm the poor with confiscated guns, as inner cities need protection the most. Local police often have many. Off-duty policemen and veterans would not need further training.
