Walmart follows Dicks sporting goods......

Probably had too many big words?

Whoa! Casual dismissiveness is a legit debating technique, isn't it?

And dismissing it based on four words from the abstract.  Not the study itself or the methodology or the sources cited or the conclusions reached.  The fucking abstract.

My favorite part of this is seeing all the ammoxsexuals lose their collective minds.

I agree. Huge difference between stating the fact that we have a firearm violence epidemic, which is not an over reaction, we do, and "I NEED MY FIREARM EVERY WAKING MOMENT OF MY LIFE" which is an over reaction.

But to be fair to those who buy that Rambo bullshit, I do blame the marketing of firearm CEOs, their corporate lobbyists and the GOP.

They have done studies and found a good guy with a gun would either botched the entire thing by either getting shot since they lack the proper training-and or they would be mistaken as the shooter.

^^^^^^^ SOOO MUCH THIS!

The Roy Rogers myth of the "Good guy" is just that, bullshit. Stranger on stranger interaction with a firearm is rare compared to suicide in the home, domestic violence in the home, or accidental in the home. And like you said, even if you introduce a firearm in a stranger on stranger event, you are more likely to get injured or killed, or injure a bystander than to successfully hit your intended target.

Civilians even with concealed or open carry permits still do not have the constant stress shooting training required that law enforcement has to maintain through out their careers. 

And the Dallas police murders are a perfect example as to why public carry is a bad idea. 5 cops were murdered, but it took hours longer to finally spot the killer because of all the insecure morons they had to stop and check to make sure they were not the perp.

Unless you have a uniform or job that requires you to carry in public, leave that shit at home or locked up in your car.

Funny - you seemed pretty dismissive of the statistical analysis of tattooed people being mental.

But here - you're right on board.

Bias?


Nawww

Not you!

Can you point to a study that supports this?

What kind of stupid do you have to be - to believe wearing a uniform somehow makes a person have better judgement?

Somebody who never wore a uniform, I suppose.

You can train muscle memory for trigger control.

You can't train people to make correct decisions under pressure.

Aren't you one of the jokers that jump onboard the train - wanting to fry every cop who shoots somebody?



Seems once again - you're trying to work both sides of the street.

What leads you to believe that the study is bias free?

You agree with the analysis?


Big surprise, huh?

Prior to the late 70s the NRA would have been an org I could have supported. But it got hijacked by corporate greed and simply became a profit lobby.

[onlinebiker]

How the fuck would you know that?

In the late 70' s you were still trying to figure out how to quit shitting in your diaper.....
