    Well, essentially he is arguing that gun free zones are bullshit and schools need to arm themselves with people properly trained to handle a fire arm.

    I'm not sure what article you read.

    DR, but if that's true it's what I want. Turn soft targets into hard targets and the shooters taste their own lead. Fairly strong deterrent in my mind.

    And for the "they want to die anyway" argument, fine. But they're not taking 20+ with them if the biology teacher caps their ass after firing 3 shots.

    The Walmart shooter had 20 fucking minutes to kill. Shorten that time frame, save lives.
    These sheeple can't understand fighting back. They are incapable of taking care of themselves. They rely on others with balls big enough to protect them. Sheepdogs to protect them from the wolves. They'd hide with the women and children. They're tough like that.
    Yeah you won't see MallCop wandering the grocery store without a drawn pistol.
    You won't see me wandering anywhere without a gun. Why do I carry a gun everywhere? Because I can! I'm not paranoid, I have a gun. I don't carry it to force my will upon others. I carry it so others can't force their will upon me and mine.
    Okay Captain Queeg. We got the picture.
    Feel free to cower in a fucking corner helplessly while they murder your family in front of you. That's your choice.
    You must be fun to shower with.
    My God. What a fag.

    All bull shitting around, what are the odds that any of us will ever be out somewhere in public and having the piece will save ours or a family member's life? Unless you're someone who spends a lot of time in higher risk areas, you're far more likely to die from any manner of other shit, than you are being "the good guy with a gun" hero.

    I love my gun. I don't think it will ever get used most likely in my life other that against beer cans and watermelons.
    True but that doesn't mean it won't or can't happen. I don't plan for the best scenario. Most victims say "I thought something like this would never happen to me". Except gang members they know it's coming.

    It 's like life insurance. Only handier.
    Right, but I don't want to spend my life worrying about 1 in million stuff. I am more concerned about car accidents and my kids getting sick than hypotheticals where a gun will save my life. I've got the shot barrel 12'er for possible civil disorder in Seattle post earthquake, camping in the woods near meth heads, home invasion, etc. Beyond that I'm never in a scenario worth worrying about.
    To each his own. It's your decision. A lot of people don't like me because I put them in prison. Many cartel people included.
    Yes. Many cartel people.

    One of the Tug statists, can't remember which, has had the honesty to say ze wants the 2A repealed or modified. I vehemently disagree with that but it is the honest discussion. Piecemeal statutory restrictions and encumberments are not honest. We! have allowed too much of that erosion of the Bill of Rights.

    The Second Amendment isn’t treated as an absolute right in practice, but if we have to amend it in order to acknowledge what we actually do in in the real world, it’s fine by me.
    How so?
    Depends on who you ask and your definition of "shall not be infringed". But to start, try buying a fully automatic weapon and tell me if your rights are infringed. If you go by sledogs definition, then background checks, 3 day waiting period, etc. all infringe on his rights.

    You are correct for once. They do infringe. Did they have ANY firearm purchase restrictions at the time of the birth of our nation?

    Fuck no.

    I.D. to show you are the person that's supposed to be voting is a huge infringement in your mind but ID ffees, taxes, waiting periods, training, background checks and all you communist propose isn't. Odd you would think you want people voting that aren't supposed to.
