what about the good guy with a gun at the DC naval yard shooting? why didn't more guns in the hands of good guys help then?
it sure didn't help gabby giffords either.
interestingly enough, small children with guns killed more people in the US last year than terrorists.
the only thing that stops a bad child with a gun is a good child with a gun. amirite?
See again, you have no idea what you are talking about.
The Navy Yard, as all Military Bases are dis-armed. Had Gabby had a little more security...more than
none, it could have been different.
But, like you told me, Gabby survived. My girlfriend survived, so why did you even need a gun?
Now, anyone not on alert posture can be walked up to and shot. That's the point. They can't shot anyone else, if there is a wide, and trained, bystander, armed response. And no one will risk it. If we just gunned down, anyone that pulled a gun, guns would not get pulled.
So, don't compare bystanders to cops either. The don't face it day after day, they don't have to save their skin. They are into sacrifice, more often than not. They are the self trained and interupted from their tasks and called to stand to.
Every time this happens it ends well.
And I don't think you can show me a single instance where an armed citizen interfered with the cops. Yet, I have seem plenty where the gun saves the day.
Who in their right minds think guns are harmful in these situations? Hey, crime goes down when the little old guy in the next booth is mature and calmly armed.
