Okay,.. I'll get to that in a minute...
...but, what is the alternative?... and
which is the alternative?...
We Need more guns...
We should all carry guns... everywhere...
We should also have better security...
We should have armed security at all public places... theatres, schools, McD's, supermarkets, malls, colleges, courts, TV stations, sporting events, concerts,...etc...
The two are mutually exclusive...
Think about it...
Everyone is armed,... and everywhere has security looking for people that might be armed...
You can identify an armed man,... by visual, search, or metal detection... fine and dandy...
But we're all packin' for self defense...
...
Point is,... you can identify an armed man...
You can't identify a mentally disturbed man...
Most of them, were okay at some point, and lost it at some point...
Was it today?... or last week?... last year? or 10 minutes ago?...
"Cops lives matter"... several cops have been gunned down recently...
These men were armed,.. alert, and more aware of danger than 99% of us... Gunes didn't save them...
"American Sniper".... this man was a trained killer, as was his friend,.... expert shot,.. armed at the time,... and suspicious of the person... and was still gunned down...
You can't outdraw a drawn gun...
...if you think you can,.. you are delusional...
...And you can't ID a mentally disturbed person...
We have "
metal" detectors... we don't have "
mental" detectors...
I do own guns...
I have owned them since before Columbine...
I like their craftsmanship, precision, accuracy........etc...
But, times have changed...
Less guns,... more restrictions... is not the perfect answer.
It is the only answer.
I know the argument... a gun is just tool...
Well,.. it isn't...
For most people it is a thingy enhancement...
Just like a sportscar, 4x4, Hog, crotch rocket, I-pad, Rolex, Nike's, or Confederate flag...
Let's call a spade a spade...
...
Let's call a thingy a thingy...

Site censor bit me in da' butt...
