When did I ever start writing about whether guns should be illegal or legal???
How they got the weapons is in many ways irrelevant, What matters is that the response from the police was inadequate to deal them as they were severely outgunned
My point with that post was simply that it's simply always the better choice to have those kinds of things simply because you never know if you would ever need them, especially in the U.S because, like i implied, the more guns, the higher chance of something like that happening.
Even in Denmark, where such things are almost never needed, I wouldn't throw a hissy fit or be shocked seeing police in armored vehicles in extreme-risk situations. It's always better to be at an advantage with regards to both firepower and manpower wherever it is deemed necessary to employ such measures.
