Adding more guns to the mix, that's the fix. Yup keep them coming. Hand them out at birth.

Insanity.

Good guys with guns don't usually get invited to house parties full of gang banging thugs, where these shootings keep ocurring. Gang banging thugs will be gang banging thugs. If they didn't use guns, they would just beat you to death.

You can find lots of good guys with guns in red states with Constitutional carry. Oh, and they rarely if ever kill anybody with their guns, because they are not GANG BANGING THUGS.

Because liberals keep letting criminals roam the streets, not because there are too many guns.

LOL. Millions of CCW holders with guns haven't shot anybody. You could hand out another 10 million guns to them without a single new crime or murder. Get a clue. It is not the guns. It it is the gang banging thugs, usually with often stolen ILLEGALLY OWNED GUNS .

"Adding" to what "mix?"

Guns are legal and guaranteed by the constitution. No one is "adding" anything. Free people can choose to buy them in the the greatest superpower on Earth because we are not peasants subject to the whims of our oppressive government (at least not yet).

It rather, the above, reminds me of the Atlantic Conveyor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Atlantic_Conveyor (for information purposes)

Essentially, the Exocets locked on a large target in the area. It was hoped by the Argentinians that the large radar target at the launching was a carrier but no, they locked on the Conveyor. Radar could not distinguish between the different types, it just saw size. This was reported in the TV show Living Dangerously, Operation Falklands.

A question that came up was should a civilian ship be armed with CIWS systems. No, because one does not want a civilian crew reacting to the modern warfare and shooting down anything that flies, be it foe or friendly (tough news for the mariners in the war zone).

Okay, in reverse order here, were the good guys with the guns the ones being attacked? If not, then it is not their area to search out and take out the bad guy (especially since they may be identified as the bad guy and shot themselves).

As civilians, we are expected to run from danger, not toward it. That's the job of the police.

OF COURSE, there is the other thing, too..........that the reason why civilians have guns is not for hunting or protection against criminals........but to keep the government in line.

Funny isn't it, how most of those violent crimes happen in cities with the most restrictive gun laws and the "bluest" residents. Entire states have lower total murders than individual cities.

Clearly! None of them stopped all the violence over the weekend.

All of those areas are deep blue.

So using this example, I’d say the “good guys with guns” got fed up and moved to Republican areas.
They are major cities , what other major cities are not mostly blue ?
