The Mall was a GUN FREE zone, no concealed Carry even with a permit, and a massacre happened. The church shooting was stopped because a good lady was armed.
Actually, the question should be revered: should American citizens be allowed to have the same weapons Iraq citizens have tradionally been “allowed” to have (even during Hussien times) and have today. Iraq has long been known for each and every household having a weapon (usually, a gun).
Juz wondering...
“The Mall was a GUN FREE zone..”
Is that a correct statement?
You must be mistaken. That cant be right. The killer took a gun in the mall and murdered 8 people. Everyone knows murderers will not violate gun free zone laws, otherwise those gun laws would be pointless dribble.
I would like to point out that they are (obviously) not, in fact, gun free zones as is evidenced by the body count.
I would also like to point out to them that these areas appear to be selected such that the perpetrators have the maximum opportunity to kill and injure. Not that they are necessarily cowards - they have to know it is going to end badly for them. In fact, recently, most seem to end up taking their own lives. However, they specifically go to gun free zones so as to minimize their initial risk, and maximize their time for mayhem.
If all the country was a gun free zone then we would be at risk from these criminals everywhere. Not only would it bring out the severely disturbed individuals bent on destruction and suicide, it would also "lower the bar." That is, knowing that they were even less likely to run into armed opposition, even the less profoundly disturbed individuals would feel emboldened to lash out at society.
We don't need fewer firearms, we need fewer gun free zones. Did anyone else note that the security guards at the Church in Colorado were not in fact normally armed? The woman who ultimately stopped the murderer was in fact armed with her own personal, registered and concealed-carry licensed firearm. Thank God, literally, that she was there. Another (unarmed) security guard was quoted as saying he was hiding behind a wall during the shooting.
Who IS this clown? Never mind, I really DON’T want to know. Disgusting...
