It's as stupid as HS unveiling the duct tape and plastic theory when Bush was prez.
Except that a pair of scissors really can kill somebody, but duct tape and plastic won't protect you from a chemical attack.
Sure but not if that other person has a gun and is 20, 30 feet away.
More than half of this country doesn't own guns.
I see nothing wrong with DNS's video, it seems to make sense to me. Defend yourself with whatever you have around - how exactly is that bad advice?

10 yards away? LOL. If they have to pause to reload and I have a pair of scissors I could close that distance pretty quickly. If my other option is being shot to death its a clear choice.
Of course they should not have to pause to reload, government has no right to do that. Mass murderers should be able to fire hundreds of rounds without pause, its their right.

That wasn't "stupid" either. Neither was the masking tape "X" on your windows during WWII in England.
They're not perfect solutions - not even good solutions. But they're better than nothing.
I get the feeling that you guys think that DHS should recommend that everyone carry a gun all the time instead. Is that correct?

On the other hand, I would prefer to have more bullets than the criminal.
The perp doesn't care about the law. Joe citizen is stuck with his measly 7 rounds.

No, I was against the creation of DHS. But, this is the sub-mediocre thought that we receive from these creations. Surely, we could do better than this half baked scheme.

I'm not sure what good just having bullets would do you.

The perp doesn't care about the law thus he automatically gets access to a black market that can provide him anything he likes? How does that work? Is there a number you call and you tell the guy "Hey, I don't care about the law" and he says "OK, great, come on over to my place, I'll sell you any illegal thing you desire"
I'm sure lunatics like Adam Lanza could have easily bought anything they liked off the black market, having zero ties to any criminal organizations.

Did you watch the video, or just read the headline?
The training video covers significantly more than "attack with scissors". It's a general training video for civilian response to an active shooter scenario.
What would you have advised, if you had made the video?
Homeland Security has advice for confronting mass murders: scissors - NYPOST.com
Just how ridiculous can the government get?
Should I just lay down and let them kill me instead?

In your case yes.....please.
Me? I'm going to shoot the asshole.

What if you accidentally shot and killed a co-worker by mistake?

I think it's hilarious that people think that "everyone having a gun" would prevent an office or school shooting.
All it would do is raise the body count.

If you have a gun, shoot him.
If not, do nothing and pray a brave NRA hero will save you.

Possibly, but would a shooter even entertain the idea of shooting up an office if he knew everyone was armed? Think deterrent.

Then you deal with the consequences of your actions... Personal responsibility kinda works that way...
I know liberals don't like to hear about personal responsibility.. but, c'est la vie

I know that my original post was not directed towards you, but since you responded...
Are you so confident in your shooting skills and awareness in the midst of panic that you'd take the shot, while accepting the possibility that perhaps that guy running down the hallway isn't the shooter, but a frantic co-worker?
