Just When You Thought Arizona Couldn't Get Stupider...
#31
RE: Just When You Thought Arizona Couldn't Get Stupider...
Alright Dot, if I may present a situation to you. Say you're on a campus with about... Five hundred people milling about, everybody cannot see everybody else at all times and about 20% of these people have deemed that they will be armed on this day due to the new legislation. Gunshots are heard and lets say that 20% of these people decide to draw their firearms and look for the disturbance. Now excluding the possibiity that it was an accidental discharge of faulty ammunition or something like that, the first person who sees another person with a gun is likely to shoot first and ask questions later since the psychopath isn't going to be twirling his moustache and eating a baby as he gleefully mows down civillians. Now if one person sees another with a gun, as I said, they will most likely shoot first and ask questions later and will probably in turn end up getting shot themselves by some other cowboy dipshit who saw them gun down some poor bastard. Hell, even unarmed people will get shot, they might just be waving their phone around and from a distance it might look like a gun. The thing is, you don't know who is who just by looking at them. The psycho could be running from someone who genuinely knows that theyve been murdering people and then the pursuer (if he has his weapon drawn) could get shot by some other cowboy douchebag because he is chasing your psycho with his weapon drawn. This is about flow of information and confusion. Not the right to keep and bear arms. This legislation, based on what it is designed to combat, has some serious fucking problems. This isn't even going into how many bystanders could die just from poorly aimed shots going wild or riccocheting. You're not thinking this through. If someone is shooting, you have no idea who they are or what they look like and anyone you see with a gun is going to be a legitimate target.
