Well yeah but if you're shooting through the side window you've already gotten out of the way. I might try taking a shot if the driver were trying to run over other people or if he was trying to shoot at someone else, chances are it would be a lot better to take cover first.
If the NRA had their way, the way they wanted it, chances are good that the kid may never have got off a second shot.

What's to stop someone from coming on the scene and thinking you are a bad guy trying to shoot an innocent driver and he/she pulls out their gun and shoots you? It could go that way for a long time, no one really knowing who are the good guys and who is the bad guys.

Things happen very fast.....your right...best to just watch.
That's right. Instead of championing personal responsibility for actions, he's blaming the second amendment and law abiding citizens who have the right to carry for unstable people who go on murdering sprees. The aunt calls Obama to action. Will this stir up another gun control debate before the midterms?
At a press conference earlier today, a self-identified father of one of the victims in last night’s mass shooting near the University of California, Santa Barbara, named his son, Chris Martinez, as one of the victims. In a heart-wrenching statement the father, Richard Martinez, expressed his profound sadness. His 20-year-old son was on his way to a market when he was killed.
“Why did Chris die?” Richard Martinez said at a press conference. “Chris died because of craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA. They talk about gun rights, what about Chris’ right to live? When will this insanity stop?”
I feel for him, but he's going after the wrong people.
If Chris would have been raised & taught how to protect himself in this big bad world we live in, instead of being raised over protected from life as we know it, he would have had a 50/50 chance of living, by exercising his right to SELF PROTECTION, instead of brainwashed in believing laws and the police are always there to protect him.
Considering Sueng wasn't even a citizen, he couldn't be a registered voter. So, there's that. We cant expect much credibility from you or anybody who reposts chain emails as gospel.

I am sure we all feel for him and his family, as well as the families of all the young people who lost their life, but when are people going to realize, many of these mass murders might not have to happen if people started putting the blame where it belongs? Like you, I wonder if people realize, taking guns away from people will create more, not less crime. Doesn't CA take pride in having very strict gun laws?
Isn't it time we put controls on knives, cars and maybe even poison? Oh and don't forget matches, someone might decide to set the entire neighborhood on fire sometime.

And the right-wing blogger who published that James Holmes was a registered Democrat was later forced to retract that claim when it turned out he was looking at the voter registration records of a different James Holmes.
LOL. "I did all the work". Your "work" just consisted of a copy-paste of an existing unsubstantiated list.
