"Good Guys" W/ Guns Shot: How'd That Happen?

Two dead (+ shooter) in Wilmington, Del. courthouse shooting.

Police have confirmed that the shooting is related to an ongoing child custody dispute case that has been played out in Delaware courts for years.

Five years ago, Belford's former husband kidnapped their three children and fled to Central America. He was later caught and sentenced to four years in prison.

Police are not identifying the gunman yet, saying only that he is a white male in his 50's or 60's.

And how much will you bet that the shooter was a law-abiding citizen or, if he was the convicted kidnapper, the "good guys w/ guns" apparently didn't have the will or common sense to relieve him of his weapons after his conviction?

Police say the two injured officers, a 42-year-old 7-year veteran and a 50-year-old 1-year veteran, were shot in an exchange with the gunman. Luckily, the officers were both struck in their bullet proof vests and are in good condition.

Fuck this shit. Maybe, rather than everyone having weapons everywhere all the time (Because it doesn't look like the "good guy w/ a gun" can even keep himself safe.) we could just issue bullet-proof vests to every American who leaves her or his house on a regular basis.
