Yet you conveniently ignore Kathryn's questions.
Yeah, right. Just make sure you are wearing your bulletproof vest if you are out a New Years Eve in Texas.

1. Do you have an armed security officer license?
2. Have you been properly trained in the type of weapon you carry?
3. Do you have a mental health evaluation certifying that you are fit for that job?

If you can answer yes to all of the above questions, this liberal approves of you carrying a gun.

So, you are cool with the shooter killing people?

Good thing it isn't up to the likes of you to approve...




As far as properly trained goes...the left tend to think police and military are some sort of weapons experts. They are on average NOT!


Unless they are also gun enthusiasts, civilian gun enthusiasts will likely out-shoot them!
Both police and basic military minimally train with their weapons with live ammo.


FWIW, the 2nd Amendment is my license!

A tragedy for sure, but one death?

Meanwhile in Texas:

White Settlement, Texas December 29, 2019 3 dead
Odessa and Midland August 31, 2019 7 dead
El Paso August 3, 2019 22 dead
Santa Fe May 18, 2018 10 dead
Sutherland Springs November 5, 2017 27 dead
Plano September 10, 2017 9 dead

78 dead in two years. That's a pretty impressive body count there. It's the type of thing that makes many of us feel lucky to live on the West Coast. Please all just move to Texas with your guns, and kill each other off there, and let the rest of us live in peace. That's all I ask.

I am. I am perfectly cool and ok with bad guys being shot and killed. This may be unpopular, but in the words of a CIA officer I know, some people just need to die.

Remember when you consider ANY numbers of incidents in any state or city, to look at the figures "per capita."
By my count the church shooting death count in Pennsylvania since 2012 is 13.
The church shooting death count in Texas is 29.

As to your second point. Okay let's compare the two biggest states, California and Texas. Texas has more gun deaths then California, despite California having over 10 million more people.

Yeah, I got that. You like seeing people get killed. So you want to see more guns on the streets, so more people get killed. I get it. Thanks for making that clear.

Would you prefer to be killed by bad guys?
