Quote of the Day: 28 July 2017

"[F]or decades I’ve pointed out the fact that the defensive firearm is a direct analog to a fire extinguisher. Each of those items is an emergency safety/rescue tool, whose purpose is to allow the ordinary citizen who becomes the first responder to ward off death or great bodily harm until the designated public safety professionals can get there to help. The gun doesn’t make you a cop and doesn’t mean you don’t need cops. The fire extinguisher doesn’t make you a trained firefighter and doesn’t mean you no longer need firefighters. 'Emergency safety/rescue tool…first responder…the one there on the ground when the conflagration breaks out, and the one right now positioned to be the best candidate to stop something horrible from happening.'" -Masad Ayoob
