With that rationale, there’s no point in everyone else having the guns. If no one is shooting at an active shooter, no one is protecting anybody, so concealed carry is useless.
According to you guys, in the past posts the good guy isn’t the police because you don’t want to depend on them. So police don’t count, it’s their jobs. So the good guys are supposed to be guys like you that won’t approach a shooter if hes not pointing it at you. You just run the other way. In the majority of the last shootings the shooter killed himself or the police did it. So there’s no good guys with guns if they all think like you and will only defend themselves. So you can stop saying everyone needs a gun now.
What you can say now, since people don’t shoot at people that aren’t pointing guns directly at them, and they run instead. You can say when there’s an active situation in a state with open carry laws, you duck the bullets and run like everyone else and let the police take care of it. You help yourself only.
A good guy is any person who is not the bad guy.
Most good guys with guns, who aren't good guys working as police, carry to protect themselves and their families.
If you don't want to carry, that's your CHOICE.
The 2nd guarantees my right to carry, and I CHOOSE. To do so.
If you're ever in the scenario of a mass shooting, your only hope is that the police arrive before a bullet arrives in you.
My hope is that either the police arrive or tgat I can shoot him before he shoots me.
Funny, how Blk folks (Blk on Blk crime) accounting for most of the mass shootings and gun crime, but our society has deemed that “normal” everyday incidents and do nothing about it.
Yes and even Family Guy once mentionned black on black crime and the hypocrisy of the medias about that.
As far as the criteria for "oble-bodied [sic]", there are a lot of people who would be of questionable minds when it comes to having that kind of weaponry in common everyday situations, and on the edge of snapping and using a weapon in a way that wasn't going to protect anyone, but would be a threat to anyone they're around. Even if someone supports the right of gun ownership, it doesn't take a whole lot of common sense to understand that but that's lacking among a lot of people who say more guns is always better.
With the US's very liberal gun culture (liberal as in ease of access), I haven't seen this be an effective strategy so far compared to other cultures abroad. If this changes and these things aren't happening anymore like they have been in recent years, get back to me on that. I feel like I'm going to be waiting a long time though.
They aren’t able-bodied if they have mental illness.
No. The vast bulk of the drugs coming into the United States do not come across the Mexican border. Only amateurs take that route, because you can't move enough product either going through the checkpoints with drugs in the nose of a semi or carrying them across through the desert.
That's why they make airplanes and speedboats.
Lol. you don't think airplanes, ships or trucks pass our borders when entering our country?
You believe our only border is between us and Mexico?
ROFLMAO!!!
Do all you liberals believe this? Do you all believe our only border is between us and Mexico?
While I have no issue with Universal Background Checks, it would not have prevented most sensational mass shootings. The exception that comes to mind is the Charleston Church shooting whereby there was a breakdown in communication between the county court and the database.

It’s because people like you don’t care when black folks die unless you can politicize their deaths. Also you use black on black crime as the usual deflection from the issue of the gun problem in this country.
So don’t act concerned all of a sudden.

Once again, if you aren’t willing to carry and protect yourself or your family, why should anybody care?
Nobody including the police has the obligation to protect you. The courts have ruled unanimously on this multiple times.
It must really suck to be so afraid of living that you feel the need to carry a gun all the time. What causes all your fear?
I'd argue you're more fearful.
You want to restrict other's rights due to your fear.
