It the 'good guy with a gun' angle. Sure, it happens. Not often, but it happens.

I was only thinking yesterday... it must be more than a week since the last shooting in the USA... well done!

And school shootings - it' s almost never a law abiding civilian being a good guy with a gun..... The law abiding tend to obey the " gun free zone" signs. The anti gun people made this mess by putting those signs up - then blame the law abiding gun owners for the actions of monsters..... SSDD

I see a nut with a rifle opened fire on the public again. That's on brand, isn't it? Sure I do, that we have a problem with guys opening fire on people in public places, as your article mentions more than once in editorializing and in the quoted comments of the interviewees. It's not exactly a feel good story about a trip to a mall. I guess there's an unexplored angle there in how lucky our good guy with a gun was not to get shot by the other official good guys with a gun..who we've previously discussed, have no obligation to get into a shootout if they fear for their lives.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
The last school shooting in the UK as far as I am aware was the Dunblane massacre 26 years ago, now the question is, which system keeps people safer? (hint, it isn't the American one)

Unless of course some monster decides to tear you a new asshole and gut-fuck you to death.... In that case just roll over and enjoy how safe things are...... Cheers...  RE: THE Gun Thread

I heard on NPR this morning on my way to work that there was a mass shooting at a mall that was stopped by a young man legally carrying a sidearm killing the shooter. A handful dead an injured, probably would have been worse without a level-headed person who was able to respond appropriately.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
