Oh, please. The "good guy with a gun" is so bullshit.

The Garlic festival shooting had armed cops on the scene. They engaged with the shooter in less than a minute.

People still died.

Yes. The police.

Not meal team six.

Same thing in Dayton too. The police engaged with the shooter in less than 1 minute.

People still died.

If only we could solve the problem BEFORE it happened.

Not during.

Not after.

BEFORE.

Extend that idea out.

Imagine having to live like that.

You're standing in line at McDonalds.

Someone new comes in. they have a gun.

Are they going to shoot the place up? You don't know!

Everyone draws!

You wait to see if the new person is going to shoot the place up or not.

This time they don't. Everyone puts the guns away. The staff go back to making food.

Until someone else comes in. And you have to do it all over again.

But that's everywhere you go.
Gas stations.
School.
Movie theaters.
Grocery stores.
Church.
The park.
Festivals.
the Mall.
Wal-mart.
A Bar.
Restaurants.

EVERYWHERE you go.

All the time.

Someone is going to get hurt. Soon. Because even trained professionals make mistakes.

How long until that stressed out near-retirement old guy who has insomnia f**king loses is and pulls the trigger on some innocent?

How long until a single mom who hasn't had good sleep in weeks pulls a gun and shoots someone?

You'd have PTSD within a month.

Whistlelock ...very insightful & forward thinking. I agree.
FBI (how ironic) I think you are describing history repeating itself...as in the "wild west" and the "arms race"
You know what they say...repeat your history when you fail to learn from it.

Mass shootings would be prevented
