Man shot outside stadium has died

[unionjack8]

mine have been loaded and laying around for 5+ years and have never so much as even fired one round in my house

it appears to me that you DONT actually need it then.....................

You're going to die some day no matter what. At least I know I made a difference. I've lived a great life with no regrets. I've manager to keep myself alive for this long and I'm retired so why change now?

so you wouldn't be missed? I would be so I prefer not to be.

If guess that fire extinguisher you have in the kitchen that most likely has never been used isn't needed then either. As the saying goes when seconds count the cops are usually 10 minutes away.

If only we could go back to the 12th century. unfortunately we are stuck in the 21st century where you can buy a gun at a gun store or gun fair and then take out as many people as you half ammo.

O h you mean where if the wrong person crossed your path on dirt road somewhere, you could be hacked to pieces and fed to the wolves and no one would really be the wiser since it was a much more dangerous world. Or were commenting where only the those in charge were armed at and the peasants were at the mercy of their king/baron/duke/tsar

I don't see why this wouldn't be doable. It happens with rape cases so why not shootings?

good point, I guess when I think about it more, they all were witnesses to a murder and witnesses get questioned. Hopefully some of these heartless, non-human, horrible people will get charged.

That doesn't sound like a bad way to go.

"Mom, why is dad no longer with us?"
"He decided to break up two drunk guys fighting and he got shot"
*bald eagle flies over the kid " thanks dad for being a parking lot hero!"
"Come meet my new boyfriend"

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

i always plan to stay safe, and as long as no one ever threatens my wife or daughter, they'll never have to be used

I dont think threats lurk. It is the numbers. Mo' guns mo' killings. Easy to statisticate easy to state.

Kinderstittler, there are no guarantees in life. An orderly society is run on . . . order and not carrying guns to raise the macho factor. true mens fight without weapons

Way to take it out of context, Jabroni. I am speaking only for me. My training would allow me to prevail in that situation. I wouldn't have been shot in that parking lot. Don't you read? I'm a freak'n super hero... get it right!

An armed society is a polite society. Real mean that fight without weapons, die.

I am not worried about the real men, it is the cowards that prey on the innocent they I worry about. Following your logic there is no need for armed police. While I commend your faith in the nature of man, I have seen it first hand and I would rather have gun, knife, bat, guard dog and not need it then the other way around. Who will protect you if that armed intruder comes into your house in the middle of the night?

Have you ever used your life insurance yet?

Oh well then cancel it, it appears you dont actually need it then.

Can probably cross home owners and car insurance off your list too.

Its ok to be wrong, just try not to keep doing it repeatedly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate#By_country

As you will note, as far as gun ownership goes, the United States having one of the highest gun ownership rates also has one of the lowest intentional homicide rate. HMMM...

Yeah, the US has the highest gun ownership rate and out of 218 countries, is not even in the top 100 in homicide rates.
Furthermore, virtually all of the countries with higher murder rates have big-gov, socialist-style gun control laws.
Not only that, but the US murder rates are boosted by the high murder rates of cities like Detroit--which, you guessed it, have big-gov, socialist style gun control laws.
Uh, there's a common theme here. lol
Imagine that.

Anyway, somehow this thread has taken a turn to gun-control debating. I suspect it's getting borderline out-of-bounds.

 

[DogFace]

The guns aren't going anywhere but the irresponsible use of them can always be stifled. We should never be complacent that that's just the way it is.

How exactly do we do that?

kinda hard to discuss if Jerry needs to do some gun controlling on his property without talking about gun-control, though.

 

[DogFace]

Yes, something needs to be done... it's called the legal system we already have in place... let it work and it will.

How has it not been allowed to work?

 

[JoeKing]

How exactly do we do that?

To start... the laws already on the books don't work or aren't being enforced. When someone shouldn't pass a background check but does because someone else entered their data wrong, the system is broke.

 

[JoeKing]

Let's see what happens to this shooter. Do you think this guy won't be punished?

 

[DogFace]

Of course he will. But how does that stop the next killing?

Haven't millions been punished before? Then why do we still have thousands die each year. Including the massacre of children. Guess it's just a necessary evil.
