They can not be stopped..

[busterbrown]

How the hell can a potential solitary shooter who's intent is on wreaking havoc can be stopped....Only the shooter knows when and where he will begin his rampage.
Without stringent gun control laws..there is no possible way law enforcement can prevent the 1st causality...with the exception of pure luck..

So lets not kid ourselves..These shootings will continue...lives will be lost and we will continue to hear the words "Hearts and thoughts" from mostly republican politicians with no end to the carnage in site...

Oh yea, by the way.. There are some articles out there that are pointing out that several potential shooters have been arrested recently..(after the recent mass shootings)... The only way a potential shooter can be stopped...is if the shooter himself opens his ignorant ass mouth and is reported by someone else...Friend, Relative, Parent..etc.

1. Until that first shot...

...they are all law-abiding gun owners.

And that’s what the “how are you going to confiscate the guns” people don’t understand.

You don’t have to “confiscate all the guns”.

But... people can’t show up at the range with them, or generally carry them in public. As soon as someone has one in public, no one has to wait for them to shoot. If the weapon is in plain view during a domestic disturbance, traffic stop, or any other law enforcement encounter, then it is not simply a lawful firearm sitting over there in the corner or in the back of the car. Those types of things, plus the attrition due to inability to transfer, or owners’ estates disposing of them, will significantly reduce the ability of people to casually own and transport these weapons.

On top of that, there will be a reduced incidence of stolen weapons or circumstances where a young person runs off with mom or dad’s weapon, since many actually law abiding people will dispose of them.

There was no national confiscation program for lawn darts. When was the last time you saw one?

2. And how many bullets can fly in the first 60 seconds?
