Most Americans don't understand this, even normally-sane media outlets don't get this, and ABSOLUTELY NO LIB EVER gets this:
People don't intervene in a situation where someone is getting murdered or assaulted with a deadly weapon unless they have the force necessary to gain control of the situation. For hundreds of years, that force has been in the form of a firearm.
That would be true even if Satan and George Soros had never brought Alvin Bragg into this world.
If blue states want people to protect each other, let the Second Amendment mean something again. That's what it's always been about.
