posts regarding gun control and the rest of the world's opinion of America in relation to gun control have been removed.
Let's do discuss what the sheriff said because there are some IMO misconceptions about that.
Let's recall that the sheriff made statements about people arming themselves. So let's discuss context.
On Sunday, April 24, 2016 during a press conference the sheriff made a statement about arming selves. To further add context, news had just broken about the three grow operations and it seemed clear the family was specifically targeted.
His statement was
"If you are fearful, arm yourself."
to add further context
Reader said he didn't believe safety was an issue for others, but he said "If you are fearful, arm yourself." If you feel you need to protect yourself or family, do so and contact the local law enforcement to come and respond to it"
