I think I picked up on the new narrative to set up a false argument. Chris Wallace has re-framed the argument to today on FNS a few times: The answer is not fewer guns, but more guns - this framed the gun-grabbers from the CC proponents. I really don’t think it is quantity, but placement. In other words, those who own their existing guns need to be allowed conceal-carry so they can be effective in the reduction of mass-murder and to be used for individual self-defense.
If I were a politician in a small community I would attempt to model after Israel.
Make open carry commonplace. Insure everyone has a gun, all the time everywhere.
What a stupid statement. Many would be opposed to such a plan no matter what it delivered. We still have our rights, dumbaXX.
Our problem is that the shooter in this case will never face any punishment that he would really fear. He will be coddled, where even the death sentence will be little more than taking a nap. We are too civilized!
Give these types of killers some real pain on the way to death. Sure, some will commit suicide, but some will not. Stop those that you can.
The coverage of these killers should reflect what they really are, Cowards. Unable to deal with the real world.
I is not nor ever will be the firearms. It is the individuals who have them.
When you have about 3 million seriously mentally Ill with homicidal tendencies walking the streets, this is what happens. Get them handled and you go a long way to solving the problem.
These people are NUTS, plain and simple. Yet when they take their medication, they are fine, and many are at the genius level of intelligence. Yet because of lack of funding at the local and state level, these people are not watched by people in the field and they are left to their own devices. BTW, Obamacare cuts further, the funding for mental health organizations.
Remember Ted Bundy? or This?

Do you know who is standing next to you in the store?
A smart guy like that could have easily fashioned a horrifying Propane bomb, which would have killed at least half in the theater.
Most likely this nut simply became afflicted with adult-onset schizophrenia, most likely a paranoid mixed type. He’s at the age of most probable development. No doubt, we’re going hear from his family and former friends that he had been acting increasingly strange during the preceding months.
If this country was serious about stopping these kinds of tragedies, it would mount a sustained national campaign to educate our country about the signs and symptoms of this disease and how to go about getting help for the afflicted individuals.
But that’s not going to happen. For a couple of reasons. First, it’s beneficial to the Communists that run our country for these kinds of massacres to continue, since they can be used to influence a mentally weak public into willingly giving up their 2nd amendment rights.
This is going to add fire to the Liberal and Obama specific Small Arms Treaty from the UN. The Liberals will let the dust settle and when the time is right let fly with the rhetoric about “ this is why we need the UN’s small arms treaty”. I feel it coming. They will milk this to the best of their ability. Be prepared my friends.
A tax on those who refuse to carry self protection devices. You must be a licensed pacifist or face a fine to cover the cost of providing security for you...
I remember one September morning where 3000 Americans were murdered and firearms were never involved.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away!
