Secretary General of Interpol Suggests an Armed Citizenry to Combat Terrorist Violence In his speech to the American public on December 21, 2012, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre made clear, The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. The sentence is a concise summary of NRAs long-held position on the Right-to-Carry, and illustrates one of the reasons NRA-ILA works to abolish restrictions on this right throughout the country. Predictably, anti-gun groups and some in the media failed to grasp the straightforward logic of the remark, or perhaps they grasped it all to well and feared what it would mean for their cause. As a result, they have criticized and attacked it. However, the logic isnt lost on Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble. In an interview with ABC News at the 82nd Interpol General Assembly, Noble noted that an armed citizenry is one of two ways to effectively confront terrorists bent on carrying out massacres at soft-targets, such as the gunmen who conducted the recent attack on the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya that killed 67. Noble told the interviewer, Societies have to think about how theyre going to approach the problem... One is to say we want an armed citizenry; you can see the reason for that. Another is to say the enclaves are so secure that in order to get into the soft target youre going to have to pass through extraordinary security.
