The panelists had agreed that \u201cactive shooter\u201d was a poor descriptor, one noting that some attackers use other weapons, such as the blade-wielder in the recent Texas case. (And, of course, the Boston Marathon bombing was fresh in everyone\u2019s mind.) Another panelist, a retired SWAT lieutenant who has responded to such things for real, pointed out that an active SHOOTER is what it takes to stop an active MURDERER.<\/p>\n<p>When a retired police chief on the panel announced that he\u2019d just received a text that the UBC had failed to make it through the Senate, the police audience erupted into applause. So much for the idea that cops all want to restrict your gun ownership. The real cops know where the problems are, and that they ain\u2019t coming from people like you.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, the White House is out of tune with that reality.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_lnRwzuAZJo\" height=\"253\" width=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nA very angry Chief Executive declares that Senators who see reality and prevent what\u2019s best described as \u201cthe tyranny of the (uninformed) majority\u201d have somehow subverted the process.
