Yup, gun ownership is 15% higher in Texas than Maryland, but somehow Maryland has a significantly higher gun murder rate and murder rate overall....it's like those 2 things are entirely unrelated.
Good guy with a gun sees other good guy with a gun. But now both belive that they’ve spotted the shooter, or that there’s two shooters.
Just wait til the 3rd good guy with a gun comes in..
Police kill 4 gunmen mistaking 3 for the mass shooter...
I've heard liberals say this time and time again. Yet, they never back this claim up with evidence or instances of this actually happening. And we're talking about 700 year old technology here. So by now, there should be plenty of evidence of this occurring, if it was really an issue. But mass killing in the USA by deranged killers is no joke, and it seems to have become a rather common occurrence. All the more reason to remain vigilant, aware and armed.
See the difference? One is a real life threat that should be taken seriously, and the other is a baseless lefty talking point used to persuade people that Americans are too stupid to be trusted with firearms. One is based in reality and the other is simply your fantasy and imagination run wild. Wouldn't that be a fair assessment of your argument? I can picture Stalin and Hitler using your logic to convince their citizens that it would be a good idea to disarm and let the government take care of everything...
So it is preferable to have guns being pulled in a house of worship? The irony here is mind boggling.
Why are you trying to put words in my mouth (don't bother answering that)? I didn't say whether or not metal detectors SHOULD be in houses of worship. I just said I don't see them as being implemented.
Hey, get this - it's entirely possible for one to be saddened by an event, and yet glad that more lives weren't taken.
No.
I just feel like it’s important to be cautious about making people think they can be potential heroes because they’ve got a gun.
Trying to fulfill some John Wayne fantasy...
