Many gun control advocates are asking why anyone would “need” 100 rounds of ammunition in the wake of deadly mass murder attacks, but Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) dismantled those arguments in one tweet.

“If 6 brave, trained, and alert police officers with professionally maintained weapons fired 58 rounds to subdue the Dayton shooter,” he explained, “I’d say my wife deserves at least that many chances to protect herself and my kids when I’m not home.”
