I haven't seen Red Dawn but have always liked Patrick as an actor so I'll check it out.
But remember what happened to Patrick and his bank robbers in Point Break? Yep, it was only a movie too
but you're on a valid theme here. The off duty police officer who had a gun and used it to protect himself got killed.

Yep, I get the sheep thing but many countries don't have the right to bear arms and we're doing ok.
Hypothetically, it would be very interesting to witness the outcome of increased gun control in the States,
I could well be wrong in my assumptions JG however I feel that these gun attacks / mass murders would dramatically decrease
as a result but no one will know unless the Government tries it, which it won't so I'll have to leave it there.

Good discussion all the same :-)
