I could have worded it differently, but I think it is important to point out that the rugged individual label does not apply to most Americans who live in cities and follow the herd.
Also this was in a response to a building where I have many friends was attacked by an active shooter.
Citizens shooting back in a crisis only makes things worse, how do you know who is the real shooter now?
Have you ever been in a shooting situation? If you are not trained for it it is terrifying and it is unlikely you will make a positive difference.
