If the guard had a single shot pistol Alexis could have only killed one other person. I say it’s time to make it illegal for cops to have multi-round clips! /s
Y’know, a lot of this problem is self-inflicted. We as gun owners have a real bad tendency to “hide our light under a bushel basket.” That is to say that most gun owners don’t carry and those that do tend to carry concealed. Which might be OK from a tactical perspective, but in the long run just undercuts our position. Very few gun owners Open Carry the Tools of Liberty. And it’s not helping us one little bit.
Ask yourself: would the kind of senseless butchery we’ve seen in CT and DC and CO and other places have occurred if even 10% of the population Open Carried?
No, it probably would not.
And we also have to ask whether we would even be hearing the tired bleatings of the gun grabbers if 10% of the population Open Carried?
No, we probably would not.
So while we complain about the gun grabbers and fight them politically, it continues to be something of a rearguard effort. We could largely eliminate violent crime and get marginalize the gun grabbers in one fell swoop if just say one out of 4 or one out of 5 gunowners would just openly and proudly carry the Tools of Liberty as they went about their day to day business.
This guy attended a Buddhist church....we should BAN all Buddhist from America!!!
Yep. Good deal. I thought it was EXCELLENT. :-)
These mass shootings are extremely rare
and the only reason these morons do it is because of the massive media attention they get. the media is causing most mass shootings and the media know this and egg it on so that they can take away our guns.
The media has said that if you are angry that’s what you should do and then you will become world famous and known forever. these idiots are just copy cats doing what they see on the media and the media knows this.
What a concept! Military bases that are gun free zones.
Fings break, doan ney?
I forget the state. The issue was shall issue, concealed carry permits. One gun grabber said a DUI should disqualify!
Coyotes and mountain lions you know.
This being California, I do get a strange reaction upon occasion. Back when open carry was first banned in this State, I actually called the Sheriff's office once to get clarification as to whether it's legal to OC on my own property, as the property line goes to the middle of the County Road. Once I explained the rationale for needing it they were on board completely as a "spirit of the law" kind of thing. I don't think they like that law any more than I do.
“Learn how to effectively MANAGE THE MENTALLY ILL!!!!!
This is the perfect job for a bunch of SOCIALIST CONTROL FREAKS!”
One of the problems is that this description applies to a great many of the people on the left. Most are sub-clinical, but they know it, and this is why they will never agree to this solution.
That picture is worth at least a thousand words.
Somebody email this article to Governor Jerry Brown in California before he signs the law just passed by the legislature outright banning all center fire semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, that are protected by the SCOTUS ruling in Hellar. Not to mention the law yet to be signed by him that outlaws all lead bullets.
Good article. Once more its time to flood the people in Comgress with letters, phone calls and emails.
