The disturbing thing about this whole thing is the reactions to it. What would you people rather do? Run by Starbucks and get a Latte ,go home and set in front of your computer screen fireplace image(because a real fireplace would emit to much carbon) and sing Kumbaya. Ever heard the old saying don’t knock something until you try it? As for the kid with the gun,I’m sure he has been taught and is more safe carrying that gun than most new military recruits who have never even held one. But I guess it all boils down to how and where you are raised. In my neck of the woods the schools here still require you to go through the hunter/gun safety course. Sound crazy? Before you get all bent out of shape(I know your thinking how Barbaric ),the motivation behind it is knowledge,to teach the dangers and proper handling of a firearm. If all schools did this how many lives could have been saved from kids finding/getting into the parents guns? Instead the answer the Dems come up with is gun bans,mandatory locks on guns etc.. Guns will never go away, doesn’t it make sense to educate firearm safety instead of trying legislate the solution? Or should we close our eyes,put our hands over are ears and pretend they are just not here? Just my little rant……….
There are roughly 40,000 fatalities from auto related incidents per year. I think I would start here and take away vehicle owning privileges,pass strict back ground checks and mental testing for drivers,inject each gallon of gas with an identifying agent, so we know who polluted exactly what air and when. Sounds pretty ridiculous doesn’t it? But it is always the same song and dance when it comes to gun related death, you always here from some anti gun nut “Oh the senseless,terrible tragedy against humanity, let’s do all we can to get rid of the guns, that will end all this.” I bet this same person would be annoyed to have to slow down for the rescue vehicles while they were trying to clean up a fatality accident site. PLEASE………..just as someone has already posted above “this is a perfect example why we need these new gun laws”. To this person I say….next time you pass a body lying along the freeway, be sure and act just as horrified and outraged instead of “shit, now I’m going to be late for my appointment”. p.s. I’m not from the right wing, I just try not to be ignorant so not to be labeled a “dumb” liberal.
I don’t recall reading that he was carrying the weapon legally,if he did have his conceal carry permit he chose very bad judgement. Something to remember is,a gun maybe the weapon of choice for a conceal carry permit holder but the permit is just a permit for any concealed weapon. Hatchet your choice of weapon? Stick it in your coat. My point is, the anti-gun nuts will always try to find an excuse to blame the gun as if it were a living thinking being. Take the gun out of this story and say he just walked up and punched the guy in the face, the actions and intent are the same from the aggressor but you wouldn’t see posts on the internet to take the guy’s fists away. Tell me how wrong I am anti-gun nuts………………..
