It is about time we were allowed to carry guns to protect ourselves from the police if we happen to be carrying a chair leg or catching a train. We would also be able to protect ourselves from criminals who the police are far too busy shooting OAPs to catch.
You don't see the contradiction in suggesting that "we should be allowed to carry guns" because an OAP was shot for carrying a gun?
Can you see the contradiction in saying the police should be allowed to shoot people for boarding a train or carrying a table leg for repair while we should not be allowed to defend ourselves from trigger happy policemen?
