Good guy with a gun fallacy
While we will accomplish exactly zero by arguing on an obscure ski forum, can you all just stop with the Bobby Stainless bullshit.
“We got an officer, Officer Ruiz, whose wife had called him and said she (had) been shot and she’s dying,” McCraw said in video shared by PBS "News Hour." “What happened to him as he tried to move forward into the hallway, he was detained and they took his gun away from him and escorted him off the scene.”I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

If that's legit true that you never take them out of your house except to go to the range that's pretty much how I read the 2nd A. I'd go pew pew with you at the range FWIW.. Curious on your thoughts about other people who do leave a gun in their car.. Are we mostly in agreement there?
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Wow sentenced to 17 whole years for killing somebody.
The gun probably got life though since it was totally the guns fault.
No wonder violent crime is skyrocketing.Hunting kicks ass.
Chicks dig Labs.
I'll keep my job, my money and my guns and you can keep the change.

Police officers shoot or physically subdue the shooter in less than a third of attacks.
Bystanders stop some attackers, more often with physical force than with a gun.
One in four attacks ends in a shooter suicide.
One in four attackers leaves the scene (though most are later caught).
The data comes from the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University, whose researchers work with the F.B.I. to catalog and examine these attacks. Unlike mass shooting tallies that count a minimum number of people shot or killed, the active attack data includes episodes with fewer casualties, but researchers exclude domestic shootings and gang-related attacks.
Researchers caution that some older attacks may be missing from the data, but they feel confident in their overall assessment that shootings are increasing. What is less clear is how to limit the damage of these attacks, given how quickly they unfold and how powerful the weapons used can be.
Most attacks captured in the data were already over before law enforcement arrived. People at the scene did intervene, sometimes shooting the attackers, but typically physically subduing them. But in about half of all cases, the attackers commited suicide or simply stopped shooting and fled.
“It’s direct, indisputable, empirical evidence that this kind of common claim that ‘the only thing that stops a bad guy with the gun is a good guy with the gun’ is wrong,” said Adam Lankford, a professor at the University of Alabama, who has studied mass shootings for more than a decade. “It’s demonstrably false, because often they are stopping themselves.”

Wow, I go out for a 3 day camping trip for the solstice and come back to 150 new posts in this thread, half of them from Bobby. There’s no way his life is as good as he claims if he’s hanging here non stop shit posting. Or maybe he’s so rich he’s paying someone to post for him? “Jeeves, give me the 30 second rundown on what’s up with TGR. Make it snappy, I’ve got Lambos to sell. Make sure you’re being an asshole when you post. Thanks, now confirm the tier one operators are on for Saturday!”
3 awesome days in the woods. Bear scat on the trail and coyotes yipping around the camp site half the night. Of course I’m not some scared pussy so I faced it all with out one of my guns.
And anyone saying it’s cool to leave guns in unlocked cars can’t then turn around and spew “what about Chicago” anytime anyone mentions gun regulations.

We all create the theatre in which we play the leading role, some more clumsily than others.
I tramp past bear scat most days I take the weekly garbage down the drive, listen to coyotes most nights and still wonder how immature we can be to put these toys above the lives of our fellow countrymen and their children.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

Try tramping across Ferguson, Mo. or South Chicago.
Watch out for those falling tree branches though.

No irony at all, none whatsoever. I support lenient gun laws to allow responsible people to own guns, but also do not think people anger problems should be armed. There shouldn't have to be any laws from preventing people from realizing they aren't stable enough to own a gun, in a perfect world, that would start with individual awareness and responsibility. The only irony is anti gun people who are obviously unhinged and unstable, whos anti gun rhetoric seems to stem from assuming everyone else is just as crazy hateful and spiteful as they are.
You're really reaching.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

Unstable people don’t know they’re unstable.
Just like dumb people don’t know they are dumb.
What you posted is dumb. I’d ask you to draw a conclusion from that but…

Thanks for your contribution to ending school shootings. You, Dunfree, Adolf, Cisco Kid, BillyMac, Sum Jong Guy, etc, should be super proud of your contributions to this thread.
Obviously your heart lies with gun control and the children... Lol.
That's really brave of you not to shoot wildlife with a high powered weapon. We should get you an award or something."I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I think there's something to be said for that" -One For The Road

If only there was something we could do...
It’s not fear mongering. I’m just pointing out not everyone lives in a tree house in a nice part of the woods. The “I don’t feel or see a need” is pretty selfish.
I never felt the need for a gun until I found myself going into trailers in meth infested counties in rural Mo where there were already guns lying around already. Or gang infested housing projects. But don’t worry, before you tell me to find another job, I gave up helping your “undesirables” with programs to help the poor and sick and no longer feel the need to risk my life for free and because I’m just a nice guy. The paranoia was not worth it. Not my fault family services is staffed by lazy a holes who don’t answer the phone or an ACA program that requires a laptop and a college degree to understand. Fuck I don’t even return their voicemail and pleas for help anymore. But I’ll give them your number if your willing to go?
