This was a case of the instinct of self preservation, strong in all animals EXCEPT sheep. When they're tackled to the ground for shearing, they stop all resistance. I think these anti-gun people from countries where the government has treated them AS sheep for centuries have laid down so long that they've lost that instinct and become sheep. They're trying to do that here now too with brainwashing kids in schools to think like sheep, to mistake the controlling efforts of our government to be good for them. But there are still those of us who are not ready to lie down. I notice people from England, Canada, Australia and some other European countries make up the majority of anti-gun people here. There's a very different history between those countries and America. Americans don't have a history of relying on their government entities to do for them, anywhere from paying for their livelihoods (insurance, medical care, etc etc etc) to total protection from vicious criminals.
To keep criticizing or mocking those who believe in citizens' rights to have guns for self defence, in citizens' rights to defend themselves OR a 3rd party innocent is spinning your wheels. You'll never convince true American patriots that they should follow in those sheep foot-steps and lie down for the predators to do what they will. NEVER!
This Walmart employee who had no way out, who had a gun pressed hard into his back, fearing for his life and who had an opportunity to thwart this piece of human garbage, did so out of the instinct of self preservation. We all know what happens to sheep when when a wolf has them cornered.
I would be surprised if they don't get their jobs back. Of course, with our justice system going the way it does, nothing much surprises me too much. I hope they pursue it and get themselves some good lawyers.
