Guns Prevent incident from Escalating at Capitol

I am sure by now you all have heard about the crazy guy who walked into the Governor’s office and had declared himself emperor of state government and was shot down after showing his own gun. You may hear gun control advocates try and use this as a case to push for more gun control. I believe the opposite to be true. The emperor never got a shot off because unlike shootings at schools there were plenty of armed people at the capitol building. In this case they were the police, but it could have just as easily been Ritter himself or an armed aide The point is that in this case guns being carried by law abiding types were able to stop an incident before it escalated. Imagine what might have happened if the capitol had been declared a “gun free zone”, like they had implemented at Virginia Tech.
