Definitely the glib tag line about a ...@dangerous,<br /><br />Definitely the glib tag line about a good guy with a gun is so disgusting. It's designed to sound good, not to be close to the truth. The NRA isn't interested in any solutions (which would only be partial solutions, not 100% guarantees). They want to protect their rights, and that's all they care about. <br /><br />They only care about stopping mass shootings in that it might spur legislation affecting their rights, so they pretend that more guns and more concealed carry would help. But mostly they do it to have a talking point for all their allies. Otherwise they would look uncaring or ineffectual when people demand that government "do something." They aren't honest enough to admit that this is a predictable consequence of the gun rights they treasure, so we need to live with it. Oh well. Another day in America.ModeratePolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01721945380057992971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499771266402854669.post-30534086874701672892014-05-27T16:52:27.817-04:002014-05-27T16:52:27.817-04:00What the Idiots With Guns don't realize is tha...What the Idiots With Guns don't realize is that having a gun makes them the primary target for anyone with criminal intent. Further, if actually facing fire, most would immediately pee their pants and / or shoot the wrong person.<br /><br />Simple scenario: A random shooter like the one at UCSB opens fire. IWG#1 sees what's going on and opens fire on random shooter. IWG#2 didn't see the initial rounds fire and thinks IWG#1 is the random shooter and opens fire on him. <br /><br />So much for the notion that "the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."Dangerousnoreply@blogger.com
