He wrote, “Ladies and gentlemen, especially the woke generation, for your safety, please stop challenging/daring an armed person to shoot, asking an armed person, daringly, how many people he/she can kill or attempting to disarm an armed person.
“It never pans out well. Nowhere in the world does it. A shot once fired can never be retrieved. A life once lost can never be brought back.
“Remember, one with gun is majority.
“Note: This is not about armed police officers only. This is about any armed person, security forces, or criminals.”
