If everyone was armed, cowards would not walk among us.

“We’re like a huge, beautiful tree with many branches,” (survivor) King said. “It’s going to take a lot more than one blow to knock us down.”

For a few in the crowd, this was not their first shooting.

After a gunman opened fire in their favorite bar, these survivors have banded together like family - Los Angeles Times

One can come at it in many ways, until the truth is staring them in the face.

No point in expecting anything coherent from hyper macho gun fetishists.

Translation: Right wing nut jobs think they could get the drop on every mass shooter before any damage would be done.

I guess everyone would be walking around with guns drawn at all times to make sure.

Some people haven't progressed past 5th grade intellectually if they can't see the glaring stupidity in these scenarios.

Yep. And they also imply that mass shooters are "cowards" who will be deterred by right wing gun fetish supermen, when it seems to me that most mass shooters end up getting shot or killing themselves anyway..so what are they afraid of?

They also seem quick to call us all "gun grabbers" who are "comin' after their guns."

I don't know anyone with arms wide enough to collect 400 million to 1.2 billion firearms, an impossible task, yet that's what we are accused of desiring.

If we can somehow disregard the gun grabbers AND the gun nuts, (also an unfair characterization,) maybe the rest of us can work together towards solutions.
