D. C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier is an outspoken proponent of gun control (in a district which already has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation). So, when asked by 60 Minutes how people should respond to being near an active gunman, Lanier’s response was bemusing as The Washington Times reports, saying that the “best option for saving lives before police can get there’ would be for citizens to try to subdue, or even kill, the gunman.
In an interview Sunday on CBS’ ’60 Minutes,’ Chief Lanier was asked what should people do if they are in the vicinity of an active shooter like the those who carried out the recent terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.
As Townhall.com notes, to anyone paying the slightest attention to the fight over gun laws in the District, Lanier’s statement is curious, given that she’s been an outspoken proponent of gun control in D. C., which already has some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
