We all want a safe solution, but there is no clear path to reach this goal. There needs to be an equal balance when creating new firearm…

A man approached the club on foot, armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a semi-automatic pistol and entered the building. The club’s guard engaged the armed man, but he returned fire and killed the police officer; however, the armed man did not stop there and continued on his way to the main floor where he began shooting patrons.

Additionally, participation of armed civilians in stopping crimes would make it a little more problematic for the law enforcement people responding as they…
