Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports[W:28:100:205,628]**

Re: Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports

Reall??? 600 in a few months??? You need to post some evidence to back that up. Otherwise I am calling shenanigans on that overinflated hog wash.

Vegas and Texas.
 
Re: Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports

No, sorry. Most soldiers hardly ever use full auto. These weapons are made to be very deadly in semi auto.

Every semi auto weapon is deadly? It makes no difference if it's a remington hunting rifle in .223 or an AR15 in 5.56. I am a 12 year veteran, I know what I am talking about. You obviously don't.

I'm Vietnam veteran and carried an M16 in an infantry unit, and a LRRP unit. I know exactly what I'm talking about.
 
Re: Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports

Vegas and Texas.

86 people were killed in total. The wounded 500 from vegas include non shooting injuries. So no.
 
Re: Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports

Instead of completely ignoring what I was responding to and making an educated statement, you try this straw man bull****.

Go back and read my argument. Maybe at that point we will talk.

Huh?

You: "And yet in this case an actual good guy with a gun not only stopped the attack, but disarmed and drove off the shooter. Go figure."

Me: "The good guy stopped the attack after 26 people had been killed first. If that's your solution to this problem, then it's not a very good one."

How is that strawman? It's responding directly to what you said.

Well you could have fooled me because you obviously know very little about modern arms.

Oh gee they only killed around 100, and wounded 600.

Because you are trying to respond to my statement out of context. Nice try though.

Again read what I was responding to and try again.

You could have fooled me, because your arguments all fall short.

Ummm... No. Killed 58 in Vegas and wounded 500 (including non shooting wounds.)

They are dead on while yours is based on? Yes hot air backed up by more hot air.

Plus Texas.

So you agree that the 'good guy with a gun' is a terrible and inefficient solution to the mass shooting problem?

Yours are total nonsense. If you've ever killed using an M16 on semi you wouldn't be talking the way you are.
 
Re: Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports

Plus Texas.

27 more. I already added them into my initial post. You are reading them correct? I mean seriously you still have not touted the amazing law that would stop the killings unless of course you want to ban all semi automatic weapons. So you feel stomping all over the rights of law abiding citizens is OK. Mr. Fought in Vietnam to defend our rights.

I've addressed all that already. Don't sell assault weapons to the public.

12 years. Why don't you move your cursor over my two stars. I also was a LEO for a few years. So I was there on the streets. You are obviously making really bad assumptions as well.
 
Re: Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports

I am still waiting to hear how restricting law abiding citizens will prevent crime?
Since you are sick of hearing about it and all.

Yeah I misread your initial post. I edited mine at the end to illustrate some ways it could prevent crime.
 
Re: Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports

That's not a solution. We have a constitutional right. So that is not an answer.

It's an answer all right, it's just not the answer you like.
 
Re: Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports

That has literally nothing to do with what I just said, however crimeresearch.org have compiled a few instances where handgun permit holders have successfully prevented public shootings. A quick google search will also point to a few news stories where this happens.

However, many factors come into play : the law abiding citizen has to have huge balls, be a good shot, not be mistaken for the shooter by the police etc.

Is it difficult ? Yes
Is it impossible ? No

EDIT : Misread, my bad. I was simply making the claim that intelligently crafted laws do have an impact on the crime rate. Otherwise, laws in general would be utterly pointless. Let's think about the waiting period law for example. If some guy gets fired from his job & wants to shoot up his office, maybe having to sit on that idea for a few days while waiting for his gun will cool his temper, no ?

If there wasn't any speed limit laws, wouldn't everyone be driving at 120 mph on the highway ?

I am not against things like background checks etc. However when laws start to hinder law abiding citizens, that's where I draw the line. Most gun laws that have been introduced, and failed for the most part just make it more expensive to own a weapon. So it negativly affects minorities and the poor in general for the most part.

It does not matter if I like it or not. Until the 2nd Amendment is repealed, it is simply not the answer, period.

No. You don't have appeal the 2nd Amendment to stop selling assault weapons to the public.
 
Re: Multiple victims in Texas church shooting, local media reports

I repeat, if you ever killed using an M16 on semi you wouldn't be talking the way you are.

And I repeat you are wrong for many reasons. Most of which is you can't read minds. Going by your posts I don't believe much of what you are saying.
