[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 416716, member: 17969"] The issue of guns will have many scenarios. The "superman" scenario that you describe while carrying your concealed weapon may sound like the ultimate solution, but there are many factors that have to go completely perfect in order for this to be successful. The problem with gun owners who think that they can bring down someone is always from a point of view after the fact. Studies show, gun owners are typically more likely to have their own weapons used on them versus the perpetrator. But the real issue here is how politicians use guns to get us (the citizens) to fight with one another every 4 years. The politicians know that the country is divided on guns and gun ownership. While there are some grounds of acceptance, guns still represent evil in many communities in many cities. In some rural part of the country guns may be a way of life and people understand this, but in a city like Compton California, guns are hated and citizens are outraged that they exist on the city streets. It isnt a matter of the 2nd amendment in Compton as it would be in rural america. There will always be a diiference of opinion with respect for guns and the politicians know that all they have to do is mention it during a campaign and we will do the rest. There is NO credible evidence that outlawing guns will be on the agenda of an OBAMA presidency and to believe such is to participate in the circus that is the campaign. As for people carrying guns on campus. What about liability? There are thousands of "negative" scenarios to consider. What if "your" concealed weapon had to be drawn because someone was shooting on campus and you took out your gun and began firind trying to take the person down and in the process, you inadvertently shot and killed a couple of bystanders with "missed" shots? Should you be held liable? Should you be put in jail? What should the penalty be for this? Do you get a pass from killing innocent persons because you were in superman mode? The gun can be empowering indeed, but there is always a down side to its use. As I said in the begining, there would have to be a perfect scenario in order for you to protect anyone. Chaos brings chaos. Your gun will only add to it. What about the gunmans rights (not that I care about them) isnt he entitled to due process for his crimes or would you be Judge, Jury and Executioner? Think about it. [/QUOTE]
