The conservative "solution" of armed concert goers is laughable
Well trained police have a hard enough time making good decisions under thoe conditions......Conservatives want to arm drunk twenty something year olds and expect a good outcome
What happens in all those concerts where there aren't terrorists but just a bunch of armed drunk twentysomething year olds?
Most of the time police have little issue making good decisions, but yea there are a few bad apples. I'm sure there's a few bad apple gun owners too. But you don't tie the hands of millions because 1 in a million might be a moron...
The problem is that it only takes a few morons to inflict great carnage
I agree that most gun owners are responsible. But with 32,000 gun deaths a year, we are paying a horrific cost for those who are irresponsible
Also, with a gun, it only takes a split second to turn from a responsible gun owner to an irresponsible one
As opposed to what, the terrorists who are mowing down innocent unarmed civilians one by one? Thanks, I'll take my chances with the 1 in a million moron gun owner. I'd much rather be shot by "friendly fire" than a fucking terrorist... At least in that situation I had died in the defense of innocent lives.
In order to do that, you will have to arm large number of concert goers, sporting event fans anywhere where large numbers of people congregate
You really want rival sports fans to be armed?
Takes "kill the umpire" to a new level
I don't do sports, but to put it bluntly here, I'm an American and I believe that /all/ Americans may be armed, regardless of their sports team, politics, or religion. I have just as much concern for drunken shootings as I do drunk drivers. This doesn't mean I want to ban cars, just the same as I don't want to ban gun ownership.
I'm not advocating banning gun ownership
But I don't want armed drunken assholes in our bars, nightclubs, sporting events and concerts on the minute chance that there may be a terrorist attack
