good for them. A wise man once said "you vote every day with your dollar"
I would like to see interested family members of vicitims run a firing sqaud on the murderer. Make it a Pay Per View event with proceeds to victims families. Now we're talking.
How would more people armed in that theater have helped? A gun in a dark theater filled with tear gas would've ended in more deaths.
the flashes coming from the murderers barrel would lead you in the right direction. trust me.
Right, as long as you're immune to the effects of tear gas it's an easy shot. :roll:
Cool, sounds like a plan, until the cops show up and see the flashes coming from your barrel? :corn:
BTW
I believe that the first sign of that tear gas container and a few people would have had guns drawn and quite possibly smoked that punk if there were armed citizens in that theater, you all can keep making up reasons to ban guns and make jokes about it but look at the bottom line here..,.we still got em.

My advice is, instead of using the money on a gun, why not use it on a nice home theater system instead. The popcorn is cheaper, strangers cell phones wont go off, and you can fast-forward through the ads.
ok, i have stayed out of these 2 treads but I have to say something now. to begin, do you really believe that having the 2nd amendment protects you. lets say that i am a good shot and from a roof top i starting shooting down at people. yes maybe at some point someone might kill or injure me but by the time that is done many people can be killed. what if one of those people is you? are you protected? NO!
now as for Gun control. the main issue that I see is not just the amount of guns that are open for people to buy but the state of mind that comes from a person saying I need to shoot someone for whatever reason.
so while you can yes say "we still have them" do you feel safe? in many rough areas many people have guns and yet people are still killed there.
sorry fife but I can't see your point being valid,life if full of what if's so we all we can do is protect ourselfs and our familys as best we can and if a gun is needed then so be it.
Godfather.
asked the victims of the DC sniper if having a gun made them feel safer? the reality is that having guns on the streets is not safe and having more people with guns is not safe.
but the point is that gun doesn't protect yourself or your family in a situation like this. its put more people and other people families at risk of being shot. I have been shot at (not hit but shot at) in my work life and the truth is that while we are comfortable sitting infront of a computer is that when you hear guns being shot at you your first reaction is not to shot back but to try not getting hit.
btw I don't normally carry a weapon.
Godfather.
when u hear shotgun u run to hide..normal reaction
thats why police officers trained for have more calm reaction and hadle the situation..
even in police force there are different squads for different jobs
having a gun doesnt mean u can protect your self..
if u have bricks and cement ,doesnt mean u can build a house...

you said a gun does not protect myself or my family and I understand what you are saying
so then could we also say that guns don't kill people and that people kill people ?
your thoughts.
Godfather.
I can understand this and that why i said that we also have to look at the causes that make a person feel that its ok to use a gun to shot people. simple gun control is not going to end gun violence.
I'm just guessing here but it seems you have had enough experiance/knowledge in this area with guns
in your work life, your opinion has my respect.
Godfather.
I think that people kill people but a gun in the hands of a person is an extension of that person. I don't know if it is a either/or situation here to be honest.
