I'm sure this unintended consequence will make Chuck very happy, since I don't think what he said was intended to make you feel better or more safe, nor do I see how your happiness or safety has anything to do with the relevance of his response to roger.  Or was it relevant because you wanted to dismiss Chuck's point without actually addressing it?  I find that the ancients of the a-list often use humor to that end.

I take it that this means you aren't going to shoot at the people responsible for this attack?  Does this extend to refraining from helping other people to shoot them, or is that another subject entirely?
