Anyone remember which idiot said The massacre in colorado would of been less severe

[desert dude]

i believe the scenario chesus is positing is a dozen armed citizens in a dark, confusing theater, and contrasting it with "professionals" in a less confusing situation shooting citizens left and right.

it's called reading comprehension, skinhead.

What I posit is that a dozen armed citizens would not just randomly start shooting without a clearly identified target. The consequences of mistakenly killing an innocent person are simply too great, unless you are a cop. It's called logic, cheeseater.

Logic would be actually imagining how a dozen armed civilians in a dark theater would react to the sound of gunfire and muzzle flashes
I am sure fear and adrenaline would make them all zero in on the bad guy and know exactly which one of them with a gun WAS the bad guy<---Sarcasm

its a real what if . . if one concerned citizen responded appropriately ok it might work, but as more and more attempt to deal with the situation without any bit of knowledge of who the bad guy is, i see it as very plausible they would end up shooting each other

Police: All Empire State shooting victims were wounded by officers

New York (CNN) -- On a busy Friday morning in Manhattan, nine pedestrians suffered bullet or fragment wounds after police unleashed a hail of gunfire at a man wielding a .45 caliber pistol who had just killed a former co-worker.
The officers unloaded 16 rounds in the shadow of the Empire State Building at a disgruntled former apparel designer, killing him after he engaged in a gunbattle with police, authorities said.
Three passersby sustained direct gunshot wounds, while the remaining six were hit by fragments, according to New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. All injuries were caused by police, he said Saturday.

This thread highlights one of the main differences between lefties and righties, between gun banners and shooters. Lefties generally distrust and fear fellow citizens and assume they are all a bunch of morons, whereas righties are more trustful of their fellows.

You lefties have been hanging around each other so long that you think everybody is as dumb, lazy and inept as you are. That is not necessarily the case, though.

<edit> That ought to make me popular with the cheese eaters around here.

I'm about as pro 2nd amendment as you can get

Worse

It's hard to imagine how this situation could be worse than it actually was. The problem is that society has created a bunch of "gun free zones" so the criminals and crazies know exactly where to go to ply their trade. That mistake is on the gun banners.

Are you aware that areas where private citizens have more weapons violent crimes are down.

you want guns in your schools/political rally's?, and how is a cafe a gun free zone(and in texas , the highest gun per capita in all of america, really helps) . . . . . and i still dont think that theaters should allow guns, why does one incident all of a sudden require all theaters to adopt teh fear policy, metel detectors plus security seem fine to me

 

[NoDrama]

Your fucking kidding ...right?
A Texas man injured two people and himself after he accidentally fired his handgun Monday night while standing on line at a Walmart store, police said.
MyFoxDFW.com reported that the suspect, who was not identified, accidentally fired his gun while he reached into his wallet at the Dallas-area store. The bullet hit the man in the buttock and shattered on the ground. Fragments hit a child in the leg and a woman in the foot, the report said.

How many people died?

 

[ChesusRice]

How many people died?

That makes a difference how?

 

[cannabineer]

No
someone here on RIU
claimed in a thread when the shooting happened
That if people had ccws
the shooter would of been stopped and tragedy averted
and chances are pretty good
It would of been worse

But to say that, you have to specify a lot of people carrying concealed weapons, twelve of them drawing AND firing. How realistic is that? I can see twelve drawing, but I don't believe that that many would have fired. For the scenario to work, an (imo) unreasonable assumption must be sold as the likeliest outcome. cn
