I vot ban for guns

You give people no credit, as if they're all just blithering idiots who couldn't possibly use a firearm correctly and efficiently. And how exactly is one kid with a gun a "tactical combat situation?"

Go to your mall today. Look on the door. Ask if you are allowed to carry your concealled weapon there. Better yet. Google the last few high body count shootings. Oregon, Aurora, and the recent school. See if they are "Gun Free" Zones. (hint: They all are)

You are the one that mentioned James Bond. Rochard, I understand you just want to feel safe, but if you don't own a gun, aren't trained, and have no desire to defend your home with one, I am not sure your opinion is an educated one. Do people accidentally shoot their friends and family? Do people sometimes accidentally run over their own children? Yes. Is owning a gun a huge responsibility? Yes.

I do not give people credit at all. I've seen how the majority of the people drive, and that's plenty enough for me.

How is one kid with a gun a tactical situation? Any time you are faced with taking out a shooter it is in fact a tactical situation. In this case it was one "twenty year old kid" with an assault rifle in a school. If you were armed and present at the school, you would have to go room to room to find him and kill him. That's exactly what a tactical situation is.

My wife dragged me out the mall last night and I looked for such signs. I didn't see anything. I live in California.



I do own a gun, I am trained, but I understand that defending my home with a firearm is risky at best. The odds of me being able to defend myself in the middle of the night in the dark are slim at best. In the mean time, the odds of home invasion or a robbery are so slim that is unlikely to happen - do you know anyone who's house was broken into when they were in it, or do you know anyone who's house was involved in a home invasion? I'm forty-four years old and oddly enough, I don't know one person who has ever gone through this. The odds of me shooting a family member by accident is much greater.

I am not sure if guards at schools would be enough. Maybe if you had two or three officers at EVERY school nationwide it would be a deterrent. But that's a lot of money...



I believe it was illegal to carry at the college, but not at the local mall or movies.

But that doesn't really matter. Can you just imagine if someone was carrying a concealed weapon in the mall when a gun man attacked? Do you honestly mean to tell me that "Bob", a forty-five year old insurance salesman, is going to be able to go from shopping with his wife and kids to instantly being in a tactical situation he was never trained for? Is "Bob" going to be able to tell who the gun man is from the dozens or hundreds of shoppers when everyone is running around with their heads cut like chickens screaming? Is "Bob" really going to be able take out a gun man armed with an assault rifle at forty yards?

Is "Bob" really going to be able to take another's man's life during a tactical situation without having any time to determine if the shooter is the shooter, a police officer, or another innocent civilian who has armed himself?

We have the right to bear arms and a lot of us do, yet oddly not once at a mall or school or movies has a civilian pulled out a handgun and taken out the gunman. (I do recall the shooting at the church where the armed security guard took out the gunman.) Where are all of these people who proudly own handguns? Hiding?

I want the teachers to be able to have their own guns if they want them. The kid went room to room easily killing everyone. Nobody would be required to run to the aid of others. But they wouldn't all be sitting ducks. What is tragic is that nobody had any chance at all thanks to the school being "gun free" and homicidal crazy criminal friendly.

I have never seen such a sign. Ever.

Actually this sounds pretty bad and not democratic, but it is not the government who is knocking on your door but some related agency who just check if you play by the rules. And yes, I think it is very OK to check ppl occasionally who have guns. I know it is hard to understand as the laws are totally different there and this most likely sounds Insane to you :P But here not many men keep guns at home. Also, I think they only check w ppl w [serious] gun arsenal not everyone.

As usual i do appreciate your attempt of insinuating that i might be stupid - i would suggest using a little math and add up the number of inhabitants of the other countries on that image, then add up their number of deaths and put each in relation.

I've told Rochard to ignore me because I've proven him wrong so many times I actually feel sorry for him. Anyway, less then a week ago we had a kid walk into a mall in Portland Oregon with a Ar-15 and kill 2 people. Then the school shooting a couple days ago. You'd think the liberal media would be having a field day with this firearm killing spree epidemic?

Nope, want to know why you don't hear fuck all about the Portland Oregon Mall shooting in the national news anymore? Because the shooter was stopped by a private citizen who had carry permit. Not one national news media covered this because of their Media bias and so they completely dropped the whole Portland Oregon mall shooting.

You need to get out more.

I went to the mall last night, didn't see it. Went to half a dozen places outside of the mall too last night, didn't see it.

The shooter shot himself, ending his own life.

Yes, clearly this is the properly solution. We need our kids surrounded by firearms on a daily basis.

No fucking way in the world I would want any of my kid's teachers to have a firearm in school. Most of them are female, less than a hundred pounds, and would cry at the thought of using a gun to shoot an animal no less attempt to take a man's life.

Out of all of my kid's teachers, there was only one of them I would ever consider able to handle a firearm.

Here in the US, assault rifles are legal, twenty six and seven year old kids KILLED. Meanwhile in China, assault rifles are banned, twenty kids got "wounded". See the difference?
