The same could be said of terrorist attacks like 9/11, yet we will go to war over them.
That was just 1 in a string of many attacks. A lot of people forget the first World Trade Center bombing in the 90's or the attack on the USS Cole. All carried out by the same organization.
Had they been random, 'lone wolf' attacks it would have been impossible to go to war. Not much of a war when there is no organization to fight against.
I've been wondering on all these gun discussions. The gun advocates are all for open carry. Now, what if they saw a group of 20 year old black males, pants down to their knees, big shirted carrying guns in their local grocery store. Is that okay? I ask because a black kid got shot and killed by the police in a Walmart due to the false reporting of another white shopper. He had a toy gun in his hands and was murdered for it. Why didn't the police murder those *******s in Target with assault rifles or real guns that kill on their backs??? Just sayin...
Baggy pants and carrying at the waste do not go together. I would recommend them an EDC or 'war belt' from SOE Gear.

It would be illegal for 20 year olds, you gun control advocates really don't know anything about the subject, do you? If their pants are down to their knees the certainly aren't using belt holsters, carrying in their hands? That would be brandishing, potentially classified as a threat which would be assault and also illegal.

Nonsense, we went to war because of 9/11. Nothing else mattered. We invaded Iraq because of 9/11 and they didn't have anything to do with it.
I'm not the one insisting on bringing a gun to a school to "protect" my family from specters of violence. You're right, fear absolutely does breed ignorance. I'm not the one who is afraid.

You seemed to crap your pants with fear at a gun you never saw.
My line of business as an investigator, it would be dumb to not be armed to the teeth, 24/7.
You fear my weapon. I fear the day I have to use it.
And that 1/10th is what all of them are judging things on...
I would guess that the number of people shot in mass shootings is considerably less than the number who are accidentally shot with their own (or a family member's) gun.
Yet the mass shootings somehow get all the publicity.

I'm guessing it is not a 1/10th either. That would just be chicago.

And both of those percentages are less then how many times a firearm has saved someone... and of course that doesn't get any publicity.
Oh and let's not forget the percentage of people that don't live in the urban sprawl and actually use firearms to feed their families.

Oft forgotten in these strident debates is the fear driven obsession with carrying of firearms due to intangible remote but nonetheless perceived threats.
