Arpaio calls on 250K armed citizens to stop terrorism and mass shootings
Draw your weapons.
That's what Sheriff Joe Arpaio is urging nearly a quarter-million Arizona gun owners to do to fight terrorism and mass shooters.
On Tuesday, the so-called "Toughest Sheriff in America" said he cannot guarantee the public's safety and called on them to take matters into their own hands if necessary.
"I'm just talking about the areas where you have large crowds and someone pulls out the gun and starts shooting. Maybe somebody with a concealed weapon takes the guy down," Arpaio said.

Three years ago, Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert proposed arming more citizens after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut where 20 school children and six adult staff members were killed.
At the time, Gohmert said: "I wish to God she had had an M-4 in her office," referring to the school’s principal.
There have been some cases where an armed civilian stopped a mass killer.
In 1997, an assistant principal in Pearl, MS, fatally shot an armed student after he had killed two other students and injured several others.
