Oh. Sorry. You missed where he said that people on the “No fly list” should have full rights to purchase any weapons they want. That was earlier today. You must have missed that. Probably a busy day for you.

I think we should just do what the Israeli’s do. Despite being such a big target, their airlines appear to be very safe.

If you have relevant information that is not IN the thread or article being commented on, please at least link to it.

No, I don’t have time to read every story out there... Most days, the best I can do is maybe 20-30 minutes on FR, if that, and maybe 20-30 minutes of local news at suppertime (usually 10 pm!).

One doesn’t have to “take out” the terrorist(s) or crazy. That’s ideal, of course. But even if one can only find a somewhat shielded position and get off a few rounds at the bad guys / gals, that should distract them and allow more time for others to escape.

Yes, it’s risky. The defender might catch an innocent in the crossfire or by ricochet. The defender has a good chance of being shot themselves, given the perps often have heavier weaponry. Given even worse luck, a “defender” might get shot by a cop.

We are talking about “improved scenarios” here. Not what one usually sees in movies. But, still... Greater love...

Confusion is how do you draw fast enough without being noticed, in the midst of the rapid fire of two shooters with semi-auto and pistols, and shoot through body armor? Would you have time to assess the situation and fire a kill shot if a spot existed? I think their heads were just covered, so if you could get a head shot, it would take two head shots in this situation.

The odds just seem so against doing much good in that specific kind of situation. Other situations, definitely, I can see and have known about how they save the day.

Incidentally that SOB and his crazy wife left behind not just a terrible trail of grief and tears but an orphaned 6-month-old child. There will be terrible cost to society yet to be paid.

The child will probably qualify for Social Security death benefits because the father was gainfully employed for 5 or more years (about). The critical victims and even the ones not so badly injured; their lives have been altered in a few seconds. Some will no doubt need disability for the rest of their lives if there is any left to be had.

I understand now, exactly what you mean. In the melee, in Paris many escaped. And there would have been some cover. It would be great risk but if it were me, I think I would rather go down fighting for myself or others than be a sitting duck with no chance at all.

In panic, I might remember to pray. You never know how that could improve the odds. The media mocked those who prayed, but how do we know but what and may one day be shown how much worse a situation we prayed for might have been had we not prayed.

Would prayer without someone armed save everyone physiccally? I don't have that kind of faith. I just think here am I, old now, many close have now gone, and here are these young people, no different than I was when young, my whole life before me, suddenly have their lives snuffed out to be no more on this earth. Even if we wanted to come back and could be granted that wish, it would never ever be the same.

... the Second Amendment must be defended and the American people must be armed.

Fine, I don't have a problem with that. However, let's deal with the real problems.... first, the Connor v. Donaldson, 422 U.S. 563 (1975) that has put endless mental patients on the street for years needs to be reversed. Secondly, doctors need to stop prescribing psychological drugs to people that make them want to go out and kill people... http://psychiatricfraud.org/2011/01/study-reveals-top-ten-violence-inducing-prescription-drugs-%e2%80%93-eight-are-psychiatric-drugs/ and http://psychiatricfraud.org/2011/04/the-real-lesson-of-columbine-psychiatric-drugs-induce-violence/

He is right. The government cannot protect us in this current Islamic holy war that is spilling out into our streets. The jihadists have unrestricted access and can strike anywhere, anytime. All gun-free zones are soft targets, ie, killing zones. Our citizens must remain armed and diligent.

[[EXCLUSIVE–Ted Cruz Reacts to San Bernardino: Now, More Than Ever, Americans Must Be Armed]]

That’s what the right MUST do- start exclaiming loud and clear that we MUST arm our citizens- shout it every time a liberal opens hteir mouth about gun control- start picking up support all across the country for concealed carry- and scare the ever lovin crap out of the left-

Start running ads on TV- Start running ads in radio- bill boards- etc- flood the nation with ‘arm yourselves citizens’ billboards Steam roll right over the loud mouths on the left!

Is Ted calling for a federally issued concealed carry permit that all states must recognize?

Living in NH, I have to drive though MA, CT, and/or NY to get to America.
