Everyone’s always saying that citizens should have the right to arm themselves, yet when someone is armed they’re immediately shot by law enforcement without question. Was Hendrix protecting himself with a gun at his house against another when the cops arrived? Did he actually aim the gun at the cops? None of this is stated.

Shot without question? Bland your a lunatic. Police do not shoot people for no reason. If you are a responsible gun owner you do not point them at cops unless you plan to get shot. It’s not a perfect system but it’s better than any other on this planet. I support law enforcement.
