One citizen with a handgun would be smart enough to know to not engage 2 guys with ARs. If, however, there was 6-10 citizens with handguns acting in concert with each other, it might've been a different story. Besides, it seems apparent no one in that meeting was armed.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
