It helped there was a gun to take him out quickly and prevent him from killing.

Yes, by a law enforcement officer.

A far cry from the macho every day guy film-fantasy most of right dream dream of.

You'd think by this point you'd have the common decency to just shut your trap...

You aren't glad the policeman took this shooter out quickly? What's wrong with you?

I'm tired of playing games with you right-wingers who lack the "candor" to be forthright about your intentions. You made that post to once again make the moronic little implication that the idiot brigade has made throughout that what we really need are more "law-abiding" people carrying guns to stop these things.

Yes, genius, I'm lamenting that a police officer was there to stop this. After all, if I support the idea of trained professionals packing heat, it's only logical that I would want someone like you packing heat in restaurants, schools, movie theaters and the like, right?

After awhile, in the wake of this crap, even I lose interest in tying you people in knots with your empty "logic," your non-existent "facts" and your less than honest style of arguing. I will award gift certificates to the next right-winger who can muster up a single counter-argument that doesn't contain either a glaring strawman or a complete misrepresentation of the opposition's argument. I don't think it's possible because this forum makes patently obvious that the resident right-wingers operate at such a cognitive deficit, they have little recourse in these debates but to deceive in the ways I listed. Prove me wrong.

You are free to put me on ignore and read only those posts of people you agree 100% with. Sorry but your little rant and personal attack does not make me convinced that your plans for prohibition will work. They're not working with drugs --- that's very clear.

You know what, on second thought, keep talking. You people sputtering out this moronic babble turns more people off to the gun fondler cause than anything the rest of us could ever say. Please, go for it.

It didn't work with alcohol, either.

The ignore function is for fragile individuals who cannot handle differing opinions. I normally enjoy toying with people like you, but as more of the stories roll in and it becomes more and more depressing, it becomes less and less enjoyable.
