my god you guys are ridiculous, it was one freaking incident with yet another whiney little ***** who claims the world hates him and obviously wasn't raised properly and here you guys have to drag some politics into it
While we are the on the subject and while it seems we are allowed to discuss politics again, the idea of everyone carrying guns around and opening fire on every little threat isn't the answer either. If everyone carries guns around, so we strike the process of natural selection for people who actually use the guns for a destructive purpose, and they go find a weapon that is more destructive, whether it be a more powerful gun or something else. Besides thats, having fifty people open fire in public isn't a good idea either even if it is for self defense, half the people would probably just pull out a gun because they see others doing it and wouldn't know who to shoot
This isn't the first time this has happened either. A few years ago I was a few blocks away from some dude who grabbed a random person at union station during rush hour and pointed a gun to her head. You can't well shoot a person who sneaks up behind you and at that point you do have to be trained as to not shoot the other person and to disable the person so that they cannot pull the trigger on the hostage before they die. You to shoot in the neck somewhere I believe. I don't know anyone who could accurately shoot a warfare magnum sniper in that sort of situation
