I don't find it either. I understand there is a threat and this makes my flight safer.

why are retards immediately calling for more gun control when it is a statistical fact that legal gun owners save substantially more lives per year than criminals take. This unimaginable tragedy in no way changes the facts. Now is a time for mourning and helping the victims, not knee jerk politics.


Also: The news is saying all this carnage was done with a couple pistols. The rifle was sitting in a parked car...so.....

So why can't I have a suitcase nuke? As long as I'm responsible with it that's all that matters in order to have dangerous things whose sole purpose is to kill/destroy.
So how about an accidental discharge of the weapon? Where's the comparison? Gunshot wound vs leveled neighborhood

Why don't you back up your claims with actual facts instead of tossing out the fabrications of your mind and trying to pass them off as such?

You have to take courses in gun safety and get a certain amount of practice in at the gun range. Then you can apply to the police and get a license.

We have quite a high ratio of guns to people here (I believe we are top ten worldwide), but it is my impression that people here are more responsible gun owners than the average American.
