[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 997940, member: 17969"] You keep making your argument about fighting crime, but that isnt what the majority of gun crimes are about. They are not burgulars, or robbers or even car jackers, they are domestic disputes. the majority of gun deaths in this country on deaths caused by a legal gun owner on his/her family or self. In this case, this wasnt a robbery, or a burgulary, it was just a mass killiing. He chose weapons that had the most serious impacts on human beings. He went out of his way to buy enough rounds to stop an army. The gun is nothing more than a weapon to kill human beings. The colorado shooter wanted nothing for his actions, he was satisfied just killing innocent persons. If you were in that threatre SOBER, with your gun, you would have made ZERO difference in the outcome. You would have only brought attention to yourself while you shot at him, and then he would have "trained" his weapon on you and shot at you until he was empty. At that point, you would have gotten everyone around you killed. HOORAY.... people that may have not been killed are now killed because you took out your firearm. Sounds like a great plan. What strikes me as really odd, is the fact that you live in a remote area ( according to you) away from big city crime, and yet, you feel you need a gun for protection. Could it be your fear allows you to exaggerate the level of fear in your area just to satisfy your insecurity? I mean, I live in southern california, bank robberies, car jackings, burgularies, rapes, stabbings, beatings and such, and I dont have the same desire as you do to own a gun. What frightens you about your area? I dont hear about all the CRIMES committed in the hills of Oregon. Is there some rampant crime wave happening in the hills that the media is avoiding? peace TOS [/QUOTE]
