What is the attempted massacre that you won't hear hardly anything about in the news?

Gunman was unhappy with his girlfriend, so he followed her, when she went downtown, and shot her.

Then, not satisfied, he went into the movie complex, with the intention of shooting a bunch of people, and began firing.

Then something amazing happened. The VERY reason people like guns was realized.

An armed security guard (off duty cop), heard the shots, and came on the run. When the gunman kept waving around his gun (he got off a number of rounds, but only wounded a couple people).

SHE (a latina), shot him 4 times. He lived. (Can't have everything I guess).

You put a gun in the hands of a good person, who knows how to use it, and RIGHT THERE, you have the best thing to stop a nut who wants to kill everyone in sight.

But that doesn't fit the anti-gun agenda of the liberals. They much prefer us to be sheeple, not people, who know and have the tools, to stand up and defend ourselves.

In Texas, they gave the shooter a heroes medal.

In California, she'd probably be arrested and tried for a handful of felonies.

Perfect message, Infinite Monkey. Monkeys love to throw their shit around, and lordy how they stink! Even experienced game hunters retch at the smell.

Your gunman was a law abiding citizen up until the moment he wasn't. If he didn't have access to that gun, this wouldn't have happened. If you put even more guns into even more hands, then this sort of thing is going to happen even more often. You have good in you. You also have evil in you. Sometimes you give in to the evil. If you happen to have a gun when you give in to the evil, then the damage is worse. If your gun is a semi automatic that holds 30 rounds, then the damage is much worse.

You have to draw the line somewhere. The line is currently drawn in the wrong place. It needs to move in the direction of fewer rounds, and a slower firing rate.

You have a valid point about large magazines - no one but the military/police has a need for more than a 10 bullet capacity.

I'm very much in favor of banning larger capacity magazines, for civilians - which is already the law in California, btw.

But evil people WILL find ways to kill us, without using a gun at all.

Witness 9/11 - there WAS NO GUN at all.

Think for a moment if a GOOD guy or gal had been on those planes, and carrying concealed?

Box cutters vs 9 mm?

I'll take those odds, any day.

"Armed People, not Sheeple" - don't think the wolves don't know the difference.
