The NRA and the like will probably use this again as an opportunity to demand even more and even bigger weapons for the police, the Secret Service and everyone else. Not that it will do any good, but they'll try anyway, I suppose.

    You see, the problem wasn’t that the agents didn’t follow through on tips from the public, or have a marksman on the highest available rooftop for surveillance and counter sniping. No, the issue was that the agents could not simply shoot through the building to get the shooter.

    That’s why they need recoiless rifles for the agents

    One day hopefully, we get another Kyle Rittenhouse type in there to kick off the party, and they will shoot each other.

    One of the few times where the problem could be the solution...
