Of all the places, I thought we were suppose to believe that gun owners protect themselves and those who aren't are victims waiting to get killed. According to the NRA, if criminals know guns are there, they will stay away. I thought the only solution was a food guy with a gun. Right.
So you went from above to below....

Yet you were not trying to start anything with the people who own guns...

I think you made your political statement and made it very clear. What did you expect from your posting, everyone to agree with you. You opened the discussion, now others are voicing their opinions. People can be shot regardless. The point NRA and others are trying to make: it is less likely criminals are going to choose someplace where guns are available to commit crimes, it is not any guarantee it won't happen. Most criminals are pretty stupid if you ask me.

There have been shootings in police stations and military bases too. You can ambush anybody with the element of surprise.

Your above statement is correct, so exactly what will banning or restricting guns do? We will always be at the mercy of crazy people who's intent is to do harm, and there is nothing we can do about it.
I never said anything about banning guns.

Not a problem, we are going to get a do-over. This time, we are going to go into a convenience store late at night and accidentally on purpose, shoot the bejeezus out of the guy with the hoodie robbing the place.....what's that? Oh, never mind, we have that covered on YouTube....

Check it....


Top 10 robbers shot - YouTube

As usual, some ******* tries to win the psychological super bowl on one victory....as you can clearly see, having a gun can come in damn handy sometimes......care to comment?

Guns go off by themselves? I was unaware of that and I've owned guns for over 50 years... I'm trying an experiment now. I have a gun sitting on a chair. I am waiting to see if it will go off by itself. I have tried this experiment before and after a week I gave up. I just couldn't get it to go off on its own. Teachers will start shooting trouble making students? Really? LMAO.... You sure don't give teachers much credit do you....

If you read newspapers and/or watch foreign news than you can see how many people get killed in Countries like Holland, etc, where a NO GUN policy is and no gun stores so anybody who makes these weird statements are not very well informed and they live in LaLaLand!
