As if government actually can protect you from the scary people.

I read an article today about the deputy who took a defensive position and waited, while he listened to children being killed.  Just swell.  And he apparently earned a 6 figure salary right up until we discovered that he didn't have what it takes to defend children.  I always end up wondering who was responsible for this person.  Didn't he have a boss?  Why isn't it the boss's fault too?  For instance, did we ever hear who Pvt Manning's boss was?  Why does he still have a job?  What the heck IS a manager or supervisor, if their employees are bozos?  I mention the article because I learned a new term from it.  "Check-sucker".

We're going to count on check-suckers to protect our children?  Nu uh.  I think not.  

Meanwhile, the problem solvers are all hysterical about which firearms we should "ban".  It's so pathetic that it's frightening.

I provided at least one of those per-capita stats you are looking for in [this post](https://steemit.com/politics/@kirbyhopper/stopping-gun-violence-just-do-what-australia-did-it-works). What Australia did, is working, if you're willing to see it.
