You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense - Present Tense

The Shooting Gallery?
The Shooting-of-the-week Club?
Gunorama?
I just don't get what pushes someone toward this, toward so much of what's happened lately.
Makes me want to hug my guy and give him a smooch on the cheek, and administer some loving toward our kitties too. Spread some loving around, I guess.
what a shock... :roll:

Unfortunately, as Jeanwah touched upon, these shootings are becoming so common that people are a bit 'blasé' about them. Maybe a heavy sigh, some anger/questions but can't seem to muster the outrage that these shootings call for. All too banal now.... Very sad state of affairs.
it is now call Sunday in the US.....or any other day that ends in day...:(

Even though that's one of the biggest talking points for the pro-gun crowd, it NEVER seems to happen that one of the upstanding, law-abiding citizens comes to the rescue with his guns.

well if it is a legally permitted parade in Louisiana it probably falls under this
PROHIBITED LOCATIONS
R.S. 40:1379.3 (N) states that no concealed handgun may be carried into and no concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to this Section shall authorize or entitle a permittee to carry a concealed handgun in any of the following:
A law enforcement office, station, or building;
A detention facility, prison, or jail;
A courthouse or courtroom, provided that a judge may carry such a weapon in his own courtroom;
A polling place;
A meeting place of the governing authority of a political subdivision;
The state capitol building;
Any portion of an airport facility where the carrying of firearms is prohibited under federal law, except that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, if the firearm is encased for shipment, for the purpose of checking such firearm as lawful baggage;
Any church, synagogue, mosque or similar place of worship; See RS 40:1379.3 (U)
A parade or demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity;
Any portion of the permitted area of an establishment that has been granted a Class A-General retail permit, as defined in Part II of Chapter 1 or Part II of Chapter 2 of Title 26 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises.
Any school "firearm free zone" as defined in R.S. 14:95.6.
these incidents happen in gun free zones quite a bit. But you are right, it sure would be nice if someone would stop these assholes...

another shooter or hit a bystander in the confusion. But often licensed to carry folk
are ready to get involved. They will run towards the gunfire when other's natural reaction
is to flee. They will do what they can to stop the gunman.
it was joke with Jose about gun ownership, his comment about arming everybody that leaves their homes was sarcasim so I jokingly posted "now yer catching on ol buddy" and the
Godfather.
Yeah you knew exactly what my aim was ...
Soon, people are going to be so desensitized that we'll all be walking around in a fog and a gun in our pocket. (by then, I'll be living somewhere else, that's for sure.)
happy monday my friend.
Godfather.
It seems like it should be a bigger story.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Exactly Chadwick, people are so desensitized and have no morals anymore. To take someone's life isn't a big deal anymore. How people think they'll get away with it boggles my mind....
unless it is a crowd. so would you then agree that the NRA response to the newton shooting of having a person with a gun in the school would not solve the problem as schools have crowds?
It should be. This country doesn't give a fuck and a half about the poor, minorities or urban violence (until it impacts white people) unless it results in a vote.
See the Republicans sudden interest in immigration reform
In ANY Mass shooting, drawing a gun would probably make someone a suspect.
All I'm saying is that argument that people with concealed weapons could stop these things is pure BS. They NEVER stop them. Or at least I've never heard of it happening.
...are those who've helped us.

It might be more like a 711 robbery or something similar. Although we know
if one could take a shooter by surprise before it becomes chaotic in a public place
that would be the way to go. Let's hope for that. Whether that is concealed carry,
security guard, or off duty police officer right?
The lady under the desk hiding could have stopped the shooter, she lay at his feet,
the principal could have if prepared. A couple of resource officers at different posts
most likely would have. At least that is a fighting chance and that is all we have when
terror stikes.
But there are still criminals, crime, those who live off of others, predators.
That is not going anywhere. There are still those who are mentally unbalanced,
vengeful, or who hate. It seems logical to me to remove that first and see how many guns
remain because that is the reason we have the new gun owners we do as of late.
