You are right. That's exactly what happens...time and again. We saw a lot of changes come about after the VA Tech shootings with regard to campus safety. Notification systems were put in place, emergency operation teams frequently have active shooter drills, behavioral intervention/threat assessment teams were developed to try to identify potentially problematic behaviors. All of that and situations like the Colorado shooting still can't be prevented. As I've said, I'm really interested to know more about what the college knew and how they intervened, so that our team can learn from it, but there may be nothing more that they could actually have done. We'll talk about all of those things and make changes there, but ultimately nothing will be done with access to guns. Frustrating.

...
That's always our solution... guns at schools... metal detectors at schools.
We should just be searched for guns where ever we go... movies, church, Chik-A-Fil... anyplace a crazy fuck with limitless access to legally obtain weapons and ammo might show up when his fear and paranoia switches flip and he decides to do something about us scumbags who don't fit in his expectations of who we should be and what we should be doing.
America is just a place where random gun violence will occur... we just have to accept mass murder as one of our national character traits. We need to get off of our high horses and quit gasping and petending we are shocked that shit like this happens... as we sit on our asses and don't do a thing to fix it.
To quote a great American: "I hope in the future Americans are thought of as a warlike, vicious people, because I bet a lot of high schools would pick 'Americans' as their mascot."

People are searched for guns because it is not legal to have them in public places
without a permit and some not at all...
well criminals do, they have them wherever cause they don't follow the laws
another very good reason to search.

Guns aren't going away but safety for guns can be expanded
and that is exactly what some are complaining about ... safety measures

my computer now spell checks randomly... oh boy... proofread!

I thought some of you might find this interesting... Note the comments section.
I agree with the majority of the comments. That guy is a tool. When someone in public asks me a question - especially a question like "Have you been to the fair yet?", I answer them! This guy thinks he needs a gun to protect himself from... being talked to. :roll: Threatened my ass. It was probably two drunk guys asking them about the Calgary Stampede! Plus, the thinks he should be able to go to foreign countries and carry a concealed weapon? Are you kidding me? :roll:
I don't condone harassment of the guy though, or any anti-American sentiment just because of this one dude. But the specific story is kind of fucked up! ... It's also kind of fucked that it's news... But certainly on topic for this thread, so here you go!

So... how did the confrontation end? I mean, did a fight ensue or did they just walk away?
I've been harrassed before and never ended up in a life treatening result. I know, they could've done this or they could have done that... but, they didn't. Simply, a case where alcohol was a factor.
I just went on my way.

I will always give my opinion and stick up for what I believe,

and no we don't need new laws enforce the ones we got!

Pandora you have repeated enforce the laws that we currently have. Ok fine, I just last week looked up buying a 22 caliber smallbore rifle for target shooting at my local gun club. I'm doing so just to see if can shoot as well as I once did back 30 years on my school's rifleteam. All I needed was my credit or debit card...no background check, no waiting period, no registration etc and it'll be at my door in 6 days.

I have 2 teens both 16 and they both have a debit cards they could make the very same order. Now if you had your 16 year old son or grandson he could also make the same order would you want him to have the same capability to order this rifle? I hope to order this from here in Florida...there's absolutely NOTHING, NOTHING to ENFORCE.

What would you do with your son possibly wanting to make this rifle order?

Peace

Pandora are you ducking my question? Since you've taking a great stance that our gun laws are sufficient and we can just enforce them then please answer this question i asked. Thank you.

Peace

It wasn't a confrontation. The idiot kept walking and the guys trying to talk to them didn't pursue them.

what a douche bag. I just mentioned this to a coworker, and he knew about this story and he said it's thought that these guys were actually Stampede promoters and were walking around the city trying the give out free admission tickets!

Ahh! The scary friendly excited men are talking to us about the Calgary Stampede! Where's my gun?!? :fp:

Pandora hasn't posted since I called her out on her claim of not owning a gun vs her strong stance on those who don't own one being weak and allowing themselves to be victims. I said it didn't add up, and she disappeared. I'm interested to see if she returns to explain.

Peace

Isn't that scary? I mean here are 2 guys who are most likely promoters who may have been shot if this guy was packing his gun. We have to fear everyone who approaches us! What was this guy so threatened by? I've handled worse *confrontations* than that...and without a gun.

It's also pretty scary that a cop could be that twitchy!

That's what I was wondering... did the guy have to fight off these two guys who were going to rape his wife... did they demand that he turn over his wallet? What? The story just kind of ended.
Wow. I mean, I've asked for directions from people, before... you know how you get that really rude, 'No. Go away.' from time to time? I wonder if they wished they'd had their gun with them?

Seriously! And if someone who is trained is that twitchy, what's a general member of the public going to be like?

I suppose that's what all of that training and preparedness is about... you know, so you don't end up being a stupid victim. Just be prepared and whenever someone approaches you, consider them as evil and wanting to kill you, reach in your handbag and cock the hammer of the .38 revolver you carry everywhere and point it in their direction.
Then, tell them, "No! I don't want to buy a box of cookies from you! Go Away!".

Well that's one way to solve this problem:

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=190757

It's scary because there's a whole lot of people who imagine danger when it's not even there.

Well we haven't been able to come up with a solution for mass shootings and gun control, but it appears we have solved the overpopulation issue

Come on... there is some classic stuff in here. Old ladies choking on pretzels, Rambo coming to our rescue and the stupidity of the victims getting shot in a massacre because they weren't armed in preparation of being caught in a massacre... You can't this kind of entertainment on cable T.V.

norm · August 2012

in the six years i've been here, every gun thread turned into a circle jerk...kinda awesome in a consistency way

Whats going wrong with the world? More shootings
