Absolutely, if you have the training and the capability of taking down a maniac like this to protect your own life and others around you, more power to you!so instead of just the bad guys shooting people, the good guys will join in now?
make sense to me.
you don't need training and capability to buy a gun. just about any fool can own one. where is the line drawn that separates the good guys from the bad guys?
we have courts of law for a reason.

The courts didn't stop this guy, did they?we have courts of law for a reason.
"me in court"?
what?
so do you only shoot someone when they are shooting others?
do you shoot bank robbers?
if you saw someone trying to push a girl into a car would you shot them?
dog attacks, shot the dog?
drunk driver on the freeway, shot out the tires?
i'm trying to get a point out there. is anybody getting it?

Not Me?,,,I target shoot,,,Was a Infintry trained Marine,,,Shoot a lot and still do. Not at anyone,,,There are Law's and regulation's,,,of owning fire arm's,,,At least where I am.,,,and other place's I know getting caught with an illegal firearm will get you a mandetory 5 year's,,,But Yes i support Responsable people being able to own fire arms ...
,,,If not the Bad guy's do?,,,Id only shoot to kill if I was being Robbed within' death,,,or you break into my house,,,But i would save someone if I Had to in a similar life threatining situation.

I understand your point, but I'm not talking about chasing drunk drivers down the freeway or shooting dogs that look like they might attack someone. Of course those situations are better left for the police to handle.
What I am talking about is being in a place where an individual decides he is going to shoot anyone in sight indiscriminately like this maniac did, and there is nobody there to save your own life but yourself.
Running for the door or hiding under a table and hoping for the best doesn't always save your life, just like in this incident.
Myself, I feel a lot safer having a weapon on me that gives me the capability of returning deadly force if I am in fear of my life.
to each his own judgement. just because you may know that you shouldn't shoot the drunk driver, others may feel it necessary. the only way to distinguish the difference is to leave it to the proper authorities.
nobody needs to shoot anyone. just learn to hide better.

All the calls for more gun laws is hilarious! This shooting happen in CALIFORNIA. We have some of the strictest gun laws in the Nation. Obviously more laws isn't the answer. They can't keep drugs out of the country, how are they going to keep guns out???
I can see it now... we'll have rouge underground machine shops churning out guns at breakneck speed and they will no doubt be making a handsome profit for their troubles.
But California does have CCW laws. Unfortunately it is left to the local police chief, or sheriff to decide who gets one, which makes it hit or miss whether a qualified citizen can actually get one. Luckily I live in Mendocino County and we have liberal must-issue guidelines. As long as you can pass the background check and the law/safety classes you will be granted the permit. We take that right very seriously and it definitely factors in heavily whenever the Sheriff or DA is up for election. Pro gun and pro pot is an absolute prerequisite to be elected for sure.
And I know LOTS of permit holders. They are all some of the most lawful people I know. As a matter of fact it's kinda funny... When you know someone is an armed citizen, it becomes apparent they go out of their way to stay out of risky situations. --They only park in well lit areas, don't go running to the convenience store at all hours of the night... stuff most people don't really think twice about.

That has to be the dumbest statement I've ever heard when talking about these kinds of situations...nobody needs to shoot anyone. just learn to hide better.
Oh well, tell God I said hello!

How about there not even being guns, seems that is the obvious and overlooked answer, desperation is fueled by many things.
I see more times in the news they assume, speculate and state their opinions more then report factual evidence.
A 12 ga shotgun will not penetrate a modern type III bullet resistant vest - not even a rifled or sabot slug can do that. Same for the AK - the 7.62 x 39 projectile is pretty frangible & again, will not penetrate a reasonably modern type III vest.
Check out Richard Davis - he invented the Second Chance ballistic vest, and he's shooting himself with full power .44 mag loads !
The second video is demonstrating the vest stopping a .308 NATO round.

I'm cleaning my .44 right now...been out in the woods shooting stumps...lol. I always carry unless I'm have a load of meds...then I carry my taser. If I'm dressed up like in a tux, I carry a little .25...if I'm out doing normal everyday things I carry a .45 the can covert to a .22 pea shooter, in the woods I like my .45 long barrel,...and for fun I have a .50 that shoots .410 shot also
