Gun owners commit less crime

The one thing that most anti gunners don’t know is that police are not required to assist you. What really changed my mind for guns is readings the story of Joseph Lozito. He was stabbed multiple times by a madman on the subway car. There were 2 transit police in the same compartment. The cops were trailing the psychopath who also boarded the train as Lozito. The cops knew the psycho had already killed multiple people that same day. The psycho pulled a knife and stabbed Lozito multiple times. The cops did not come to Lozito’s aid. Instead, They went into the conductors booth. Eventually, several other passengers saved Lozito from the psycho. The cops then came out of the conductors booth to arrest the killer.

The courts have ruled that the police have NO DUTY to assist you. They are not required to respond, even if you are at risk of fatality. The cops are not obligated to be your first responder. So if you believe that the police will come to rescue you, please discard that Hollywood myth. The reality is that you are expected to defend yourself.

Sounds similar to the Stonemason Doubles mass shooting and Uvalde. "trained and armed" police sat by as mass killers shot and killed children, as untrained teachers used chairs, their own bodies to try to protect the students. At least one teacher at Stoneman was well qualified to carry a firearm, as he is a retired US Army Ranger. For 45 minutes the armed school police officer hid while Cruz killed more and more innocent people. Uvalde, police stood down until a cop whose child was in the school ran in, forcing others to follow.
When seconds count, 911 is just minutes away, 45 minutes in some cases
