The gat protects. If more people in that cinema were packing then there would be a much lower body count.

Like me, can you see this only heading one way?


Remove if you wish, just wanted to share the news as I predicted this and was shouted down/.
 
Don't want to remove, but can see this one descending into mud slinging.

More people with guns is just as likely to equal more incidents like we've just seen. Especially if people were carrying loaded weapons around on the street, which i think is illegal in some states (most states?).

Therefore i don't think you are right when you say more people with guns = less body count.

How many of these new gun owners will learn how to use their weapon properly? Under the circumstances of the Colorado shooting, how many carrying weapons would be a decent shot, how many would get hit by stray bullets in a panic?
 
Clearly you are right, as has been seen most recently in the Colorado shootings, the more nut jobs with guns the better.

I mean, what could go wrong?

"Like, I was over in England. You ever been to England, anyone, been to England? No one has handguns in England, not even the cops. True or false?

True. Now-in England last year, they had fourteen deaths from handguns. Fourteen. Now-the United States, and I think you know how we feel about handguns-woooo, I'm getting a warm tingly feeling just saying the word, to be honest with you. I swear to you, I am hard. Twenty-three thousand deaths from handguns.

Now let's go through those numbers again, because they're a little baffling at first glance. England, where no one has guns, fourteen deaths. United States, and I think you know how we feel about guns-woooo, I'm getting a stiffy-twenty-three thousand deaths from handguns.

But there's no connection, and you'd be a fool and a Communist to make one. There's no connection between having a gun and shooting someone with it, and not having a gun and not shooting someone. There have been studies made and there is no connection at all there. Yes. That's absolute proof. You know, fourteen deaths from handguns. Probably American tourists, too."

Blimey you've started early they've only just opened.

I broadly agree, but, if no one in England has a hand gun, how come there were fourteen deaths?

The USA is a beautiful country, with some of the most welcoming people on earth, but with some ideals, it's truly fucked up
