At the risk of getting smashed i have to say also that maybe its time for gun reforms in the USA.
Maybe start slowly by confiscating all military weapons. Hunting firearms allowed only.
Then introduce another stage, anyone with a criminal record will be banned from owning weapons.
Step by step, slowly slowly...
As far as I'm aware, Mr. Brookes wasn't packing. Only one of the two had a gun, the one that shot the other. Had he been armed it might have gone better for him, but that's a longshot. Or a shorter route to getting shot, depending.
