Breda links to this article. Here's a quote.
Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which favors tighter firearms controls, said he saw the logic in allowing security officers to have the same firepower as a potential assailant. "We allow ordinary citizens to carry these things around. Why we do that, I don't know. But if we're going to allow that, we're probably forcing the hand of security guards to do the same," he said.
Huh? Saw the logic? It's logical for security guards to have the same firepower as an assailant, but it isn't logical for us to have the same firepower as someone who might assault us?
Of course, trying to make sense of what Mr. Helmke and his ilk say would be a full-time job for a number of people.
