Good to know you're capable of open discussions.

If you live in the US I'd wager a lot of money that you pass by multiple people everyday who are carrying. Sure would have been nice to have one of them in baggage claim.

One bad guy, you are correct.

Let me know when you guys get your magic wand that takes away all weapons or anything that can be used as a weapon from people looking to cause harm and I will hand my gun right in, as well as cross out the second amendment myself.

Maybe that bad guy with a gun was once a good guy with a gun.

Cruel universe being what it is, these ubermensch get clipped by toddlers more often than they prevent mass shootings.

We had more infants kill people this year with handguns than all gun murders in the majority of Europe.

Do you consider all of those infants that killed people to be "bad guys"

I consider them the consequence of terrible parenting... and the toddler getting his hands on a ****ing gun.

The two year old didn't go out and buy his own.

You probably have an X by now on that board. Also appreciate noted liberal HastenDan with the "what about Switzerland" talking point.

Lol we are literally talking about a shooting in a place where a guy was allowed to have his guns. Sounds like the problem is guns being allowed in the first place!

93 of the 133 incidents (70%) took place wholly in private residences. Of the remaining incidents, only 17 (13%) took place in “gun-free zones” (areas where the carrying of concealed guns is prohibited).

Also, toddlers can't read gun free zone signs and they're shooting a person every week. Gun free zones aren't the problem!

Yeah kind of curious how that was met with:

-A non-reply.
-A false assumption.
-And TWO factually false statements.

Crazy!

Last time I checked the baggage claim area of that airport is a gun free zone. Nice try though

To be clear I am not defending or making the argument that Fuluck seems to be making concerning gun-free zones, only pointing out that pointing at the statistic of "only 13% of mass shootings occurred in gun-free zones!" is a bit disingenuous to the argument at hand.

You know how to solve that issue? Be a responsible gun owner. When I am at home my gun is either on me and loaded or in my bedside drawer with the magazine out and the slide racked open, I'd love to see a toddler get a round in the chamber and get a shot off.

Noted right to personal defense would be more accurate.

Then they probably shouldn't be having kids either.

In better news Dylan Roof was just sentenced to death.
