Gun free zone failure

Hace un par de días, uno de los habituales trolls que pasa por el blog decía que la matanza de Ft. Hood demostraba que la gente armada no logra detener el delito (o algo así).

Como todavía a veces me da la paciencia, le decía que no por ser una base militar la gente anda armada, y que de hecho, al musulmán tiroteador lo controló la policía.

Al respecto leo hoy:

"It is hard to believe that we don’t trust soldiers with guns on an army base when we trust these very same men in Iraq and Afghanistan. Shouldn’t an army base be the last place where a terrorist should be able to shoot at people uninterrupted for 10 minutes? After all, an army base is filled with soldiers who carry guns, right? Unfortunately, that is not the case. … The unarmed soldiers could do little more than cower as Major Nidal Malik Hasan stood on a desk and shot down into the cubicles in which his victims were trapped. Some behaved heroically, such as private first class Marquest Smith who repeatedly risked his life removing five soldiers and a civilian from the carnage. But, being unarmed, these soldiers were unable to stop Hasan’s attack.” (completo, el artículo de John Lott)

Así que si algo demuestra el ataque de Malik, justamente es para la inutilidad de las gun free zones.
