That's not what I'm saying at all.

The article sounds like a lot of the chest-thumping you hear on the internet so frequently and he isn't saying anything that hasn't been said hundreds of times before. Sure...I have no doubt most would fight back if given the opportunity. But that's a big IF. The people that commit these sorts of killings don't go looking normally to attack hard targets. Or even targets where it's likely people will be armed. Even if they do they'll quickly change tactics and targets once a few of them get whacked.

I think his comments are long on emotion but short on logic. These extremists have been fighting Marines for years now...what makes you think some Facebook posting is going to make them stop?

I agree with the sentiment. I just think it's easier said than done.
