Police Armed To The Hilt & Citizens Armed To The Hilt
For What Purpose?
The mass shootings continue happening in the USA; 229 in 2022 to date [i].
Many mass shooters are armed with military grade weapons. However, the police are likewise armed as in the military. You would think ok, we’re even.
Yet in the recent mass shooting in Uvalde Texas, both the shooter and the police were armed to the hilt. The event should have been dramatically restricted, and yet 22 died and 17 were injured, as the police failed to act.
The Texas incident draws into focus the absurd dichotomy of our national obsession with guns.
⇒We arm the police with tremendous firepower to protect us.
⇒We arm private citizens with tremendous firepower to kill us.
Irrespective of the 2nd amendment, it is obvious that we cannot rely on ourselves or our elected representatives to make constructive common-sense changes.
