The nutshell point I wanted to make : 50 v 2 + wife, children..yeah, take a stand, but don't do it with a gun. How many of those 50 do you think wasn't carrying some sort of weapon. Gun, knife, screwdriver, whatever. The families involved in this incident are lucky, no one got killed. Even if you do pull a firearm and pop one, the other 49 who had their shanks in their pants, now have them in their hands....You don't beat those odds. I agree braining one would be pretty intimidating, but 49 pissed off youths just saw you kill their "homeboy" and they they have numbers. 1v1, one shot may send em packing, 1v2, probably the same result. 1v3, you've already got too many people to watch, unless they're lined up all nice and neat. 1v3+ I'd rather have a gun than not personally, but 1-2v50...this ain't Sparta.
