"the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun"

wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf..............

1. This guy is INSANE

I hope this backfires on him spectacularly.

Fear mongering asshole.

[gollygee]

2. And it isn't always easy to tell them apart until they start shooting someone

Also, how many military people and police officers have killed spouses, etc.?

AND let's move on to George Zimmerman, who was supposedly one of the good guys. Well I guess he's an example of my first point. You can't tell who the good guys are, so you're basically just arming people hoping you're arming more good people than bad people, but with no way of really knowing.

3. This "man" is absolutely disgusting and despicable.

[backtoblue]

4. he's attacking the prez now. what an opportunistic leach of an excuse for a human

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Um... what if the bad guy couldn't get a gun?

Maybe he'd still be bad, but it would be a whole lot harder for him to kill a bunch of people.

But what else did you expect that asshole to say? That's always been their position: More guns!

[backtoblue]

8. hammer hits nail

but they want to put an armed police officer in every school in america??? how much profit will these buzztards make off of this tragedy? Dis fucking sgusting.!

[apnu]

6. That's total bullshit. In my dojo we work on disarming w/out using guns.

there are several good and effective strategies to accomplish this.

Granted, you can do nothing if someone opens a door and starts blazing away 20 yards away, but there are ways to stop "bad guys with guns" with out a "good guy with a gun"

And besides, don't we already have "good guys with guns"? We call them cops, right?

7. The answer to guns, is more guns. The answer to death, is more death. The

answer to prayer, is more prayer. The answer to poverty, is more poverty. The insanity of America continues.

[coalition_unwilling]

15. The answer to austerity is . . . more austerity. Bunch of fucking fuck-tards

and half-wits (the Rape-publi-scum, that is).

9. What if the "bad guy" had had early childhood intervention with his mental problems?

That might happen if we had single-payer health care and didn't put such a stigma on mental health issues.

What if "bad guys" grew up in a stronger child welfare system and had parents who made living wages and were able to take parenting classes?

Oh right, more money. Sorry. Couldn't possibly find a way to allocate resources to those programs.

What if "bad guys" went to schools where bullying was taken seriously, where respect was a core value? What if people went to work and didn't have to ask permission to go to the bathroom? What if we tried to prevent all the little aggressions so they didn't snowball into big aggressions?

Oh yeah, that's a PC way to live. It raises sheep who need sheepdogs. This is a jungle, man, and there isn't anything that will change it. Let's not even try. MOAR GUNZ.

[backtoblue]

17. but first, we must have MORE guns.

Guns are the answer! Not addressing poverty, mental illness, poor health care, etc.!

too much trouble to address these issues. and guns don't kill! we need MOAR GUNZ!

I'm sick Brickbat, just sick.

10. Simpletons say things like that.

Or they believe they are talking to simpletons. It went on for 8 years during the BFEE occupation.

13. Hear us speak, but we will not respond!!!

14. Let's dispense with hostage negotiations then

They are called the police, you waste of skin, LaPenis.

[Plaid Adder]

16. This is why you want the bad guy to have a knife instead. n/t
