I was just taking my opportunity when it arose. I certainly don't want to debate anyone, because I know how that goes here in the cellar, but it seems to me that a mass shooting is the PERFECT time to debate guns....I mean, after all, shootings are accomplished with (wait for it...) guns, are they not? ![]() Sheesh. ![]()

Why is the knee-jerk reaction in these situations to render people defenseless instead of the other way around? |

I'm a knee-jerk kind of girl.
Seriously, I do see what you are saying about the other way around. It's reality whether I like it or not. If I had my druthers...but I don't. I know we all agree it's a horrible tragedy, and I'll stop there before I say something really stupid! Peace to all.

Just because you own a gun, does not mean you know what the hell to do during a shoot out.

Just "pull the fucking trigger". Right. Sadly enough, my CCW test didn't even go that far. It included absolutely nothing more than "show me how to make the weapon safe". Drop magazine, lock open the slide, check chamber, lay on counter. "You passed, you're done, go enjoy the range." That, plus a photograph, a money order, and 90 days does not make one ready for situations even remotely similar to what happened yesterday. |
