THE Gun Thread

[Brian37]

This symbol has zero impact on a shooter they would shoot a place up even if it wasn't there. They are trying to go out in a blaze.

Yes, the fact that many of these mass shooters off themselves kinda burns a huge gaping hole in that idea. Best case scenario, the threat of someone armed shooting them makes them try to outsmart security and try to get at least one shot in before anyone’s the wiser. And once the shooting starts, it can be very hard to get the sort of handle on the situation that allows for taking out the shooter.

And, for the record, Biker, I have NEVER been one to believe slapping a “gun free zone” sticker actually works. It’s just an extremely lazy form of security theater.

(Still posting from my iPad while in the basement waiting for the tornado warning to subside, which it should in a few minutes.)

Again, people speed so lets not have speed limits. People murder other people, so lets not have laws against murder. 

I see the "no gun" sticker on many doors, such as hospitals, nursing homes, government buildings. Now of course someone can ignore those regulations, but that sticker isn't for the crazies, it is basically saying, "For the responsible gun owners, please don't make our jobs more difficult by bringing in your firearm, please help us out". Most people understand this. Especially bars. Sane people know that mixing firearms and booze is not a good idea. So when they see that sign, again, responsible firearm owners understand.
