Another one using the assault weapon,this time at LAX but lets not forget Newtown, Aurora, and Tucson and others.
When are we ever going to learn to ban those military-style assault weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines?
That was a semi automatic rifle, that was used by a person that was obviously mentally ill and suicidal. Maybe instead of jumping on these unfortunate incidents with such enthusiastic glee to once again jump on the "ban" wagon, you should be asking some other questions that may have led to the crime even happening.
How come the TSA agents/government is spending so much time making law abiding citizens jump through hoops to get on a plane. We can't even bring a bottle of hair conditioner or deodorant in our bags, we have to take off our shoes like we're all criminal suspects, we have to either get nuked or felt up like we're in a holding pen in prison, before we can board a flight. BUT...they let someone come into the airport with a rifle in his duffel bag?? Now that's comforting to know how they're protecting all of us from the big bad "terrorists", those TSA folks are doing a stand-up job.
And why is it that no airport security workers had a gun to stop this guy, come on now, isn't it obvious that these crimes from these mentally ill people would not go so far if they were just shot by an ARMED security guard?? The military troops on the base at the other shooting were not allowed to carry arms either, and they were well experienced with their use. They could have quickly stopped that shooter.
What about the movie theater, where there were movie goers who had concealed carry permits, but left their guns home due to the rules of the theater. What about the schools, they'll go to that place for a slaughter, since it's a given that there's nobody in the building with a weapon on them. We'll just call 911, and cower in a corner hoping for the best until the police arrive. That's right, we don't want anybody to be able to carry a gun to protect themselves or anybody else, we only want the insane person on a mission, to shoot us all down like ducks at a carnival.
Good idea, let's just go ahead an ban all semi-automatic rifles, so that only the criminals and the insane will have them.
I am the NRA Davey. Once again it wasn't an assault weapon. Once again it was a mental case doing the shooting. Once again the media will give him much, much more than his 15 minutes of fame so other nut cases will be encouraged to follow suit.
And here you are jumping for joy for any excuse to ban guns.
The media jumps on the 'ban' wagon whenever there's an incident like this to promote their agenda. Instead of dealing with the real issues, like why there are so many of these shooters angry and on prescription medication for depression, anxiety, etc. Prescriptions that have side effects of suicide, homicide and violent behavior. I've said in another post somewhere that from all I've seen, anti-gun people get a warm and fuzzy feeling when something like this happens, likely have an instant knowing smile on their faces. I personally am disgusted when I hear of such lives being lost, but even more disgusted when I hear that the security guards had no means of stopping this guy. What do they do, give them a pocket pepper spray and wish them luck?
Anyone in that frame of mind will always be able to get a weapon - legal or otherwise. I don't even like guns, but I wouldn't want to live in a society where they were all banned; which is what the long-term plans are, I'm sure.
The 'informative' media doesn't spend much time telling us about the homeowners who were able to protect themselves and their families because they had a weapon.
You're right Anne, the bad guys will ALWAYS find a way to get their guns, whether we give up our guns or not. I for one, want to be able to defend myself and my family if a thief, rapist or murderer breaks into my home. I don't conceal carry on the street, but will if I ever feel the need to. There are plenty of cases where responsible citizens who had weapons, save their own lives or the lives of a family member in an attack, and those will ALWAYS be swept under the rug by the main stream media, as it does not suit their agenda for gun control. I remember the good old days, when the news reports were not so biased and slanted...now you have to dig for the real story if you want it. I also would not want to live in a society where the guns were banned from the law abiding citizen, and rely on the government or police to babysit me and mine.
Im blaming the gun rights nitwits that thinks every living person in the US has the right to own a gun no matter what the age or mentality of that person is.
Why am I not surprised that you've already resorted to name calling Davey? Is everyone that has a different point of view than you an nitwit?? I'm thinking yes. I am a responsible law abiding citizen, born and raise in the United States of America, and I believe that American citizens should keep their rights to keep and bear arms to protect themselves and their families in any situation. Also, to hunt or target practice, or just collect guns if they choose. NRA member, and far from a nitwit here Davey.
