Since the article says NOTHING like that, then your fine. The thread title is a total lie also, but you would know this if you had read the article.

Naw, I just like your notion that a bunch of amateurs with guns are the better option when compared to cops. I'm thinking; why am I debating a guy named shooting4life over something so ridiculous. You see where I'm coming from?

Why would you reply to a lie, after reading the article, knowing the thread title is a lie.

You need to get on the guy who started the thread, don't you.

I would be a bit nervous with a bunch of yahoos roaming around shooting at everything that twitched.

A civilian called 911 and reported the guy was in his boat, and let the cops handle it. Good for him, although it cost him a pretty expensive boat.

Letting yahoos have guns saves lives.

"Last July, mathematics enthusiast Davi Barker published an analysis of 93 mass shootings, and found that the average number of people killed in such shootings when stopped by police is 14.3. The average number of people killed in mass shootings when stopped by a civilian is 2.3."

However, you said you did read the article, then why would you still reply to a known lie?

The wrinkled old woman who has lost most of what little mind she had, is now telling us what guns to own and how to use them. She does not know her rear end from a charge hole. I would say she needs to worry more about that nursing home she will be using soon, and less about what good Americans are shooting. What an ugly old broad anyway. In her case I would say, use a Burka.
