"Leading the charge on Tuesday was South Dakota senator John
Thune, who said in an interview with NBC News that, given
the fact that there?s no way to stop a mass shooting from
happening in an ?open society,? citizens? best hope to avoid
being violently killed is to ? duck. ?I think people are
going to have to take steps in their own lives to take
precautions to protect themselves. And in situations like
that, you know, try to stay safe. As somebody said ? get
small.?

It was the most depressing Republican response to the
shooting until slightly later in the afternoon, when
Oklahoma senator James Inhofe (famous for holding up a
snowball to disprove climate change) pinned the
responsibility for Sunday night?s massacre on sanctuary
cities."

Hahahaha. What the hell is he talking about?
One round from a bazooka could have taken out the shooter.
The obvious solution is to legalize bazooka open-carry.
Then the crowd would have handled it.
The problem is the law prevents bazooka open-carry.
What are our politicians thinking?

What are they thinking? I believe they're not. Anyhow his statement makes about as much sense as blowing a shotgun in the air off your balcony...

I agree Biden was just being stupid and the "bazooka" thing is pretty
stupid too. They are not that accurate to start with, unless you are
talking about a modern laser guided anti tank weapon. Then there is
the collateral damage problem.
If we really thought this would be a thing, the answer would have been
SWAT snipers covering the buildings from other buildings. If Trump had
been there, the snipers would have been there. (ever since Dallas)
It would have stopped in about 20-30 seconds if there was anyone
qualified to shoot back at that guy.
