I love this statement . <| sep |># BREAKING TOLERANT MODS WILL NOT TOLERATE OPPOSING VIEWSbut they WILL bed the knee # NO BRAKES <| sep |> From the cases I ' ve read it ' s more of a deterrent . Most altercations that I ' ve read about don ' t just start with someone blasting away so the heat of the moment doesn ' t appear to happen very often . It ' s more about being threatened and the person pulls out the gun and the bad guy bails out for easier prey . Of course there are a million stories out there so I ' m sure you can find ones that differ . ReThe police knowing who the bad guys is . Most good guys would immediately surrender a weapon to the police . Bad guys won ' t . The first people I knew who had guns were 3 different black people who were worried about the neighborhoods in which they lived . They didn ' t fit the stereotype of the gun crazed gun owner .
