I know that some people don't want to admit that the only thing that works to stop a bad guy with a gun really is a good guy with a gun, but people need to wake up to the reality that we aren't going to be living in a gun-free world anytime soon. Until then, we need to start accepting the fact that people need to be able to defend themselves and be their own first responders.

This debate has never been about facts or logic, I know that. It's a debate over world views. One that emphasizes less guns altogether, and the other that emphasizes good people having access to a gun. Gun control proponents want to cure the ailment of gun violence by reducing the amount of guns in society over all so that the bad guy can't get a gun in the first place, making the "good guy with a gun" a redundant concept. But In the meantime, we need to set aside our ideological, philosophical world views, and start accepting the reality of what actually works.
Good post. But your logic is falling on deaf ears. Logic has no place in liberal ideology. For some reason, it seems to be impossible for them to see that whether guns are illegal or legal, they are here. And they will be used either way. It's just a matter of, by whom.

Those 9 who were recently killed, may agree with you.

How does that compare to the burden of having love ones killed that you could have stopped had you carried a gun at the time?

Tell us again if you two ever have to test those morally superior convictions if someone ever threatens you or your family/friends with a gun/knife/whatever and all you have to fill your hands with is self-righteousness.

I don't know if you're serious or not, but if you are, than good for you! It doesn't matter what color your skin is, you have Second Amendment Rights! Exercise them!!!

Of course the marches that the HueyPNewton Gun Club regularly does pretty much kills the whole "if a black man did that" meme, doesn't it?

Why isn't the media talking about this one? Doesn't fit their agenda?
It happened 3 years ago.

Race was not an issue.

No one was shot.

Guy got the gun from his sister.

Both are whack jobs.

He was observed taking the gun out of his trunk and approaching the church.
