A friend of mine had their 16 year old bi polar son who was in depression cycle and was distraught shot down by sheriff's deputies from 20ft away as he walked toward them with a 2" paring knife, crying, and telling them to just shoot him. Two of them emptied their guns into him, the killing was in accordance with dept policies because he approached them with a "deadly weapon".
Let cooler heads prevail. Put a gun in the hands of some people and they want to use it.
