1) the 2,000,000 figure is suspect. Had the NRA not squashed the CDC data on gun violence, perhaps we could argue from fact rather than anecdote.My point must not have been as clearly apparent as the one atop your skull.March 31, 1981. Four men are wounded in a shooting in broad daylight on the streets of Washington, D.C. Two of the wounded were armed. One victim was rendered paraplegic. the fourth was rushed to the hospital emergency room with a chest wound. He was President of the United States.
All of them were surrounded by the best armed, best trained cadre of security personnel in history.
What chance does an armature Rambo wanna be have in making the movie thriller kill shot in a dark, smoky, panicked movie theater?
Gun fetishists always think they can be the big hero. Meanwhile, the lives of innocents lay before their fantasies of glory and gore without regard.
and of course asshole you didn't do your research........Washington D.C. was a gun free city.....no law abiding citizen could carry a gun....he broke the law....
What exactly did your gun control laws do to stop him....? And aren't you the assholes who say only law enforcement and soldiers should have guns....of course that worked out poorly in Europe in the late 1930s-45, but that aside......what gun control law stopped him?
And of course the guys who stopped him....had guns to do it....right....or do you want the Secret Service to be unarmed as well...
You truly are a fucking genius.....
All those Secret Services agents could not prevent the shooting. What makes the average mouth breather gun nut believe that his marksmanship skills are greater, his reflexes are more honed, and his fantasy of actually shooting a bad guy are realistic so he himself can be the big hero and shoot down the assailant in a dark, crowded, panicked movie theater?
Because law abiding gun owners actually stop or prevent violent criminal attack and save lives on average 2 million times a year......I have read the stories, and some of them are the famous ones, the giffords shooting and others, and armed civilians do stop these shooters. Reagan's shooter was willing to die.....making him even harder to stop...
So....genius...answer my question.....with what you posted...do you want the Secret Service to be disarmed because they missed it one time?
At Giffords, 2 concealed carriers, neither one shot because they didn't have to......the Mall shooting, the concealed carrier could have shot the killer but chose not to because there were people behind him....and when the shooter saw him...he suicided......
Read the stories...learn about this before you post.....
2) The secret Service had guns but the assailant was physically taken down rather than in a spray of lead.
And here you go...anti gunner bill clinton, the rapist, and his 2 anti gun researchers and how they found that 1.5 million Americans use guns to stop violent criminal attack every year....
Here is Clinton's actual gun study...the number of 1.5 million is on page 9
