Massachusetts Manhunt

Why don't the authorities in Mass. just have VP Joe Biden show up with his shotgun and that should scare the suspect into surrendering.  This is also why we do not need gun legislation, but if the citizens were armed, maybe if they broke into a home the homeowner would be able to address the situation.  An armed citizenry is what government fears the most.  Our Founding Fathers knew this all too well when England attempted to disarm the citizens of the colony.  That is why we have the 2nd Amendment.  Know your history. A well informed citizen is a threat to a tyrannical government.
