Malodery:  You really should get to a good head doctor.

 

Got one.   Says I'm OK for now.   Those others see no serious problems with my health either.

 

Why are you more afraid of law abiding citizens legally carrying a gun, than you are of criminal and thug type obumbler voters illegally carrying a gun?

 

Now why would you say this?   I've never said or even hinted at a greater fear of law abiding citizens legally carrying guns than criminalsGave you a chance to denigrate our President though.

 

Don't tell me neither should be packing a gun as that is not a real world scenario because it appears that none of you libs have been able to  disarm the criminals and thugs, only the law abiding citizens. 

 

We haven't, and one big reason is the gun nuts don't seam to find any reason why someone shouldn't be armed.  Or why someone shouldn't be allowed to sell weapons to anyone they feel like.   And heaven forbid we keep track of who owns these.

 

Please tell us how you would go about it.   How would you limit access to guns for thugs no matter who they voted for?

 

There are real world examples giving pretty good results of keeping guns out of the gun nut's hands.

 

Your fear sounds "crazy" and absurdly misplaced to me.

 

It's not my fear.   It's just that it's nuts to have everybody walking around with a loaded gun.

Here's how I envision that football scene to play out.   I'm sitting there enjoying the game with my same sex partner.   You're sitting 8 rows behind me.   A guy a couple of rows ahead of me pulls out his gun.   You've been sort of paying attention to the game but luckily do see him before he fires so you remove your weapon from where you were hugging it to your breast and you put a bullet through the guy.   Unfortunately it continues on through two other students, killing both.

There's another gun lover sitting 8 seats to your left who sees you start shooting and killing three people.  He assumes the worst, (correctly) that you're a crazy gun nut, and stands up and shoots you.   You return fire before dying.  Others of your ilk notice all the shooting and start to also shoot the shooters.   Of the 50,000 in the stands, maybe only 10 or 20 are fatally shot before it stops.   Of course, what would stop it?   How would all the shooters know which were good and which were bad shooters.   Do you boys have a secret sign to let others know you're a nice guy and shouldn't be shot?


If I was a liberal and involved in those scenarios, I'd do the liberal thing. I'd take out my cell phone, assuming it wasn't already stuck to my head, dial 911, spend the next 15 minutes talking to some dispatcher, should they answer. Then try to stay out of sight for another 15+ minutes until the police get there and end the situation, one way or another. Then, if my phone had a camera, I'd photograph all the bodies, post it on facebook, get interviewed by all the TV networks, write a book promoting gun control. That would get me even more TV interviews and on talk shows. Then I'd run for political office as a 'crat gun control freak, embrace homosexuality, abortion, socialism, more government control over everyone's lives, and uncontrolled spending while working to undermine religion in the USA at the same time flooding the country with illegals and preping America for martial law.

I think I've seen law enforcement already in the stands or on the field.  No half hour wait required.  

Now tell us why my vision of events is not possible.

Here's another version of how this might play out.

 

I'm sitting there enjoying the game with my same sex partner.   You're sitting 8 rows behind me.   A guy a couple of rows ahead of me pulls out his gun.   You've been sort of paying attention to the game but luckily do see him before he fires so you remove your weapon from where you were hugging it to your breast and you put a bullet through the guy.   Unfortunately it continues on through two other students, killing both.

Then, dang, you find out he pulled out his gun because he thought someone else was threatening people with a gun.   So you shot three people by mistake.   For nothing.

There's another gun lover sitting 8 seats to your left who sees you start shooting and killing three people.  He assumes the worst, (correctly) that you're a crazy gun nut, and stands up aims down the row of seats.   First shot hits a lady who was scared of all the shooting and jumped up between he and you just as he shot.

The next shot misses and kills a guy to your right.   Third shot nails you.   You return fire before dying.  Others of your ilk notice all the shooting and start to also shoot the shooters.   Of the 50,000 in the stands, maybe only 10 or 20 are fatally shot before it stops.   Of course, what would stop it?   How would all the shooters know which were good and which were bad shooters?   Do you boys have a secret sign to let others know you're a nice guy and shouldn't be shot?


I don't have answers to the questions.   Do you?

 

You know in Tucson the guy that took the gun away was nearly shot by an armed citizen because he held the gun and was thought to have done the shooting.
