Arpaio: Arm 250,000 Citizens To Fight Terrorism And Shootings
Sheriff Joe Arpaio wants a quarter million armed Americans to fight terrorism and mass shootings.
On Tuesday, the so-called “Toughest Sheriff in America” said he cannot guarantee the public’s safety and called on them to take matters into their own hands if necessary.
“I’m just talking about the areas where you have large crowds and someone pulls out the gun and starts shooting. Maybe somebody with a concealed weapon takes the guy down,” Arpaio said.
Specifically, Arpaio was looking to the 250,000 Arizonans who carry concealed weapons permits to help keep the peace.
But there are some in law enforcement who are calling this a bad idea.
Steve Henry, chief deputy of the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, said untrained gun owners could add to chaotic situations at big events, increasing the risk to innocent bystanders.
“Sometimes it’s not proper to pull the trigger because the collateral damage is not worth it,” Henry said. “We don’t want to walk into a gun fight between anybody, much less a gun fight where people are untrained.”

Right, because more guns is always the answer to gun violence. Kill everyone else before they kill us. Proactive violence.

that is all the violent and frightened right understand…more guns and death
Larry Schmitt December 3rd, 2015 at 10:06
We will continue to have these violent events as long as there are people who think more guns is the appropriate response. How many more deaths would there have been if several people pull out guns and start shooting? Are we supposed to be ready to fire at anything? Cops go through hours and days of training to try to learn when to shoot and when not to shoot, and they still get it wrong. But a complete amateur, who may not even have gone through the basic safety course, is supposed to be the solution? How does that make sense?

It doesn’t, it does appeal to wanna be “hero’s” who believe the wild west was peaceful.
Robert Kennedy December 3rd, 2015 at 10:57
Arpaio has worn out his membership in the human race.
tracey marie December 3rd, 2015 at 11:01
and his actions and words.That is the best phrasing concerning that person

children in ‘adult’ bodies that never matured beyond the middle childhood stage?
granpa.usthai December 3rd, 2015 at 11:39
it keeps innocent young children of color from walking without written permission from a person of WHITE!
(ref: murder of innocent child Trayvon Martin by FLDL WHITE sack of LYING gz).

By all means, if you’re going to do apartheid, do it right.
whatthe46 December 3rd, 2015 at 10:06
did they say that after PP? NO! this is fox lies wet dream. and it doesn’t have to be a “terrorist” attack like the “norm” by “muslims” but, the fact that they are going to use this as a means to villianize (sp) everyone of them.
granpa.usthai December 3rd, 2015 at 11:33
then all WHITE PEOPLE are exactly like:
Robert Dear
Dylann Roof
Adam Lanza
James Holmes
John Wayne Gacy
Ted Bundy
Timothy Mcveigh
Terry Nichols
Victor Feguer
Eric Rudolph
Aileen Wuornos
and many, many, MANY more.

proactive or preemptive?
just think what if 250,000 citizens equipped like the gunnutzs across our great nation had NUCLEAR ARMS!
there would probably be no shots fired at all!
terrorist would always be in the ‘kill range’ so it’d be impossible for them to complete their ‘missions’ even if they were traveling at SR-71 max speed!!!
poof
poof
poof
they’d be taken down BEFORE they could get across the country!
Think ‘safety from terrorist attacks’
Think NUCLEAR!
Larry Schmitt December 3rd, 2015 at 11:15
The best part is, we’d only have to do it once.
granpa.usthai December 3rd, 2015 at 11:17
EXACTLY!
no nation
no people
WTF could the terrorist do?
‘scare’ US?
Tommie December 3rd, 2015 at 10:18
Translation: “I just got a check from the NRA and we need you to buy guns, so i get a bonus!” Thank you, Sheriff Joe Arpaio!

I think in the long run this is a much better solution.

who can dispute a doctor on parts of the anatomy – no matter how small?

Aren’t there already over 250,000 people who are armed and this brilliant idea hasn’t come to fruition yet? A couple times people were armed in these locations, but did not want to shoot the wrong person and did not want to be suspected as the terrorist themselves. If more guns was the solution, why are there more terrorist activities like this occurring even as there are millions of gun owners? I know there is a segment who can’t hear sensible talk, it is like a dog whistle to them, but the rest of us can be as loud and as passionate about this issue.
Larry Schmitt December 3rd, 2015 at 11:16
So his proposal means we would actually disarm a bunch of people.
Suzanne McFly December 3rd, 2015 at 11:32
Hey that is a great observation Larry, I missed that one. I wonder if we should ask him about that?
granpa.usthai December 3rd, 2015 at 11:47
GREAT THINKING!!!
leaving just 250,000 armed ‘good guys’ nationwide is at least a start.
went right past me – and probably a lot of others too.
Larry Schmitt December 3rd, 2015 at 11:48
He may have been talking about only Arizona.
granpa.usthai December 3rd, 2015 at 11:49
ANY reduction is better than no reduction.
granpa.usthai December 3rd, 2015 at 10:58
they are armed ALREADY. (those of your Klan at Nevada with stolen US Military weapons even) –
but really, with your frozen deputy still laying around @ taxpayer expense on a Waikiki beach…?
…how do you expect people to support such a wacky (excuse the pun) cop-out idea when they don’t even know if their Hawaiian POTUS [who many of your political party leadership want desperately to be a failed 1 termer) is actually constitutionally qualified for the job?
StoneyCurtisll December 3rd, 2015 at 11:36
What Joe Arpaio whats is a paramilitary army roaming the streets of the USA…
Just like they have in Iraq and Syria..
With the right to arrest, to shoot to kill anyone they see fit….

If he ran into the real deal he would crap in his pants
fahvel December 3rd, 2015 at 12:53
as long as they are kept in arizona and this dumb ass’s county, let them shoot the shit out of each other.
jybarz December 3rd, 2015 at 12:59
Stupid Sheriff!
So stupid.
Just 250,000 Guns?
There already are over 300 million guns around, which is equal or more than the population of the USA.
rg9rts December 3rd, 2015 at 14:47
Which 250,000??? Dipstick

The “government who can’t do anything right” is supposed to be capable of vetting a quarter million people to be peace officers. And then they just cut them loose and hope for the best? Oh, and who is liable for the deaths attributable to this “posse?”
