Hahahahahahaa
Thats just none of your fukin business josephine. If he wanted to make a run at the dude with a Bible and holy water, thats his prerogative. People in this fukin country aint about to have some cunt like you hold our civil rights hostage while you determine how much training we need.Exactly. The devil is always in the details. If the poor bastard went at him with anything less than a rifle, which seems most plausible, then he didnt stand much of a chance.Thank god this confused already on LEO radar for his widely known psychotically fuckedupness, this patriot was able to freely access guns. But hey, GUNS! amirite?Fucking honkeys are mindless killing machines!Shooter: Brandon Scott Hole. White Male. Fired Fed-Ex worker. 19.
These mass shooters scare me WAY more than gang warriors because a workplace, school, theater, concert, etc shooting can happen anywhere, anytime. Gang wars aren't exactly random shootings, you racist snowflakes.
You are delusional if you think making guns harder to get or banning them would stop things like this.
Dont you guys say you want drugs decriminalized? How is the war on drugs going?
The government has no business infringing on our rights or telling us what we can put it our bodies. More people die from drug use and drug related crimes than shootings.
Its gross how hard you guys work to cling onto tragic events only to push your tyrannical political beliefs and try to act like it's a pass to take away peoples rights.....and how hard you work to ignore everything you cant use.
...but that isn't realy the point.
I'm just pointing out that a challenger who tried to kill the shooter with his gun was himself killed.
So...it's not just about possessing a gun in those istuations, it's also knowing how to use it & being sufficiently trained to prevent one's own death.
And most responsible gun owners know how to do that.
But you definitely can still get shot and killed.
The point is that if you have your own fire arm you have a much better chance to save not just your life, but other innocent peoples lives. A chance that is given to us as constitutional right that should not be infringed on.
Well, given the challenger's death, evidently they don't.
It's one thing to fire as a larget range hobbyist or shoot at a defenseless animal.
It's another when it's an assailant who's trying to kill you.
It's a completely different game, Dovey.
I know, because I've been there.
What about all the challengers in similar situations that took down a violent threat?
How does this ONE guy suddenly represent everyone?
That guy had a right to have his gun to defend himself in a situation just like that. He knew the risk and chose to take it. It's sad he lost that one, absolutely. But that doesnt mean that's ALWAYS how it goes down and that none of us should ever bother because we will just die a few minutes sooner than we would have if we didnt have one.
No, I'm not arguing about the challenger's right to own a gun.
I'm just saying it's somewhat obvious he made the wrong move.
I think he made a mistake.
He must have exposed himself when he went to his car to get the gun.
Otherwise the shooter wouldn't have seen him had he concealed his movements better.
Y'know when someone or something is trying to kill you, you don't give a shit who's right or wrong.
Your first thought is, "How can I make it out of this alive?"
In the end, it doesn't matter who was right or wrong.
Just who came out alive.
Did the person who went to the car to grab his gun actually have his weapon in his hand when he was shot and killed? Or was he going for his gun when he was shot and killed? Being in possession of and attempting to are two completely different things. Of course, if he was seen "going" for his gun and got shot, we can't say that it was a "fair" shootout between him and the assailant. In that manner, you can't say whether or not the person that went for his gun knew how to use it. There are a lot of people that "know" how to use guns that get killed by other shooters. Happens all the time. I do agree with you that in this situation, knowing how to use a firearm is way more relevant than actually just "owning" one. At least the guy tried.....rest his soul.
Well, in which case, that still denotes a lack of training on how to use the proper procedures under such circumstances. Guy would have been better of hiding behind a car instead of trying to play hero, Lokmeer.
But if a person is properly trainied in knowing how to react in those situations, how would he know that? Guy obviously got suckered into the marketing/advertising that the mere presence of a gun would make him invincible.
Even if he had the proper firearmrs he probably wouldn't have knkown how to use it or react quickly enough.
No. it is my business.
Because if I were in the same or similar situation, I'd want to know what to do.
Incidently, these life and death situations don't just crop up in the US.
I think I posted this story before, but in my own city, a realtor got killed by somebody who was trying to break into his home aka a home invasion.
...so it's quite possible in this instance, a gun could have saved his life. But under this supposition, he would have still had to known how to react and what to do to defend himself and his family.
What do you think this Canadian real estate agent should have done in this situation to save himself?
Yeah. And he would have had to be close to his gun when it happened. You can't walk around with a gun in your hand 24/7. I laughed when they suggested teachers arm themselves. It would not be possible to teach with a gun in your hand.
Really Lotus?
They would keep the gun holstered and concealed until they needed it.
No one was suggested they keep it in their hand....wtf lol
Then why have it at all? show me an example of the teacher up at the white board or lecturn when an active shooter appears out of no where, and the?
You cant be serious?
Do police carry guns in their hand?
Imagine how much different Colombine would have been if one of those teachers had a gun. Imagine if Patti Neilson was armed. That whole 4 hour library shoot out could have been avoided.

...and yet a gun is still only a tool.
And if a person doesn't know how to use it properly or WHEN to deploy it, then it may not help that much.
Likewise, a person can make a fist, but other than looking fierce like a boxer/martial artist, it's knowing how to deliver a punch with it which determines its effectiveness or lethal effect.
An ordinary civilian with a gun and a trained policeman with a firearm is like night and day.
An elderly woman fatally shot a 19-year-old intruder around 12:45 a.m. after the intruder had attacked her fiancé. The couple was asleep in their Fredericksburg, Texas, home when they heard a loud banging noise coming from outside. The man, age 73, went to check the back porch and upon encountering the intruder, was attacked and hit with a blunt object. The homeowner was then put into a chokehold by the home invader, which caused him to lose consciousness. The woman woke up during the fight and asked the intruder to stop attacking, but was ignored. According to the Gillespie County Sheriff’s Office, she retrieved a handgun from the bedroom and fired one shot, but the culprit continued to attack. Fearing for her safety after seeing her unconscious fiancé, she fired a second shot, which hit the assailant in the head. The male homeowner regained consciousness and called 911, according to police. After transport to a local hospital, the teenaged thug succumbed to his injuries.

True Joe. But people who haven't shot a gun a day in their lives have a better chance than someone who is unarmed.
Nothing is ever guaranteed ......its about what makes your chances better.
The vast majority of gun owners(who are law abiding citizens) have taken classes, and go to ranges.
Many criminals have never been trained to use their guns. Have you ever seen how gang bangers or thugs will hold their guns? Lmao.

The Kid who killed his challenger at that Fedex plant, was just a pipsqueak - an Incel.
So the challenger was probably not experienced nor trained to deal with that kind of situation.
I don't think a prson can just fire at a practice range and then expect to be prepared to deasl with someone who's essentially a terrorist in a mass shooting situation.
That takes an entirely different level of training and mental/physical fitness altogether.

I bet that kid was even less trained, Joe.
Sometimes it goes poorly.
Even police get shot and killed, and they are very trained. Trained better than who shot them.
But again, your chances are MUCH better if you are armed. And all the incidents where an armed citizen was in that position and successfully defended themselves or another shows that.
You just dont hear nearly as much about those.
If there had been more than just 1 challenger that kid would have been taken down. I doubt he would have been able to get a shot on 5 challengers or even 3.

And I've noticed how these mass shootings, stabbings, murders, whatever are becoming more and more frequent. Even where I live.
Here's a case in my city, where a young man walked into a library, stabbed 6 people and left one dead:
...and that was just a month ago.
...and here's another that happened across the other side of the country a year ago where a mass shooting occurred in Nova Scotia, leaving a policewoman dead:
That shooter killed 22 people in what is normally considered a very peaceful part of Canada.
Even the police couldn't deal with him. And those were the National Equivalent of the FBI.
So...these kind of events make me think not just just about arming one's self, but learning counterrorism and martial arts technques as well.
Yet another one today. The US is done. Thanks, NRA, and all you NRA apologists.
The US ranks as the 128th safest country in the world. LMAO. Portugal is number 3.

Most of the violence in the US is gang violence and cartel violence, which is the fault of failed democrat policies.
Blaming the NRA is partisan gaslighting. The NRA doesnt condone violence and illegal use of fire arms. They are advocates of our constitutional rights who challenge USELESS regulations that infringe on the rights of citizens and they promote responsible, law abiding gun ownership.
They do MORE to combat illegal use of fire arms while left/democrats do more to contribute to it.
And you guys directly stomp on the constitutional rights of poor minorities who live in dangerous areas with no way to arm themselves for protection. It's their RIGHT.....but you guys just harm them by stripping them of it.

They are smeared as "rag rag white supremacists" basically only because they are using their constitutional rights with no apology and are small government right leaners(mostly.....we have left wing militias which are all kinds of fucked up).

So...these kind of events make me think not just just about arming one's self, but learning counterrorism and martial arts technques as well.
ARE they becoming more frequent, though? Or are they just reported on more frequently?
We have militias here that are made up of ex military, national guards, regular citizens (of all colors...btw) who train vigorously.
They are smeared as "rag rag white supremacists" basically only because they are using their constitutional rights with no apology and are small government right leaners(mostly.....we have left wing militias which are all kinds of fucked up).
There are A LOT of armed US citizens who are very well trained.
Mass Murderers come from every race and age group, Dovey.
One thing's fer sure tho - they're mostly men.
In fact...I think they're always men. We own this distinction, that's fer usre.
You women aint gonna catch up to us in this dept.
No siree!
We're still No. 1 in this category!
We own it.
They are all men, and they are by far mostly white, with an occasional black or brown person thrown in there.
You cant be serious?
Do police carry guns in their hand?
Imagine how much different Colombine would have been if one of those teachers had a gun. Imagine if Patti Neilson was armed. That whole 4 hour library shoot out could have been avoided.
...and yet a gun is still only a tool.
And if a person doesn't know how to use it properly or WHEN to deploy it, then it may not help that much.
Likewise, a person can make a fist, but other than looking fierce like a boxer/martial artist, it's knowing how to deliver a punch with it which determines its effectiveness or lethal effect.
An ordinary civilian with a gun and a trained policeman with a firearm is like night and day.
True Joe. But people who haven't shot a gun a day in their lives have a better chance than someone who is unarmed.
Nothing is ever guaranteed ......its about what makes your chances better.
The vast majority of gun owners(who are law abiding citizens) have taken classes, and go to ranges.
Many criminals have never been trained to use their guns. Have you ever seen how gang bangers or thugs will hold their guns? Lmao.
The Kid who killed his challenger at that Fedex plant, was just a pipsqueak - an Incel.
So the challenger was probably not experienced nor trained to deal with that kind of situation.
I don't think a prson can just fire at a practice range and then expect to be prepared to deasl with someone who's essentially a terrorist in a mass shooting situation.
That takes an entirely different level of training and mental/physical fitness altogether.
I bet that kid was even less trained, Joe.
Sometimes it goes poorly.
Even police get shot and killed, and they are very trained. Trained better than who shot them.
But again, your chances are MUCH better if you are armed. And all the incidents where an armed citizen was in that position and successfully defended themselves or another shows that.
You just dont hear nearly as much about those.
If there had been more than just 1 challenger that kid would have been taken down. I doubt he would have been able to get a shot on 5 challengers or even 3.
Oh I don't dismiss guns as a deterrent or a possible intervention that could save your life, Dovey.
And I've noticed how these mass shootings, stabbings, murders, whatever are becoming more and more frequent. Even where I live.
Here's a case in my city, where a young man walked into a library, stabbed 6 people and left one dead:
...and that was just a month ago.
...and here's another that happened across the other side of the country a year ago where a mass shooting occurred in Nova Scotia, leaving a policewoman dead:
That shooter killed 22 people in what is normally considered a very peaceful part of Canada.
Even the police couldn't deal with him. And those were the National Equivalent of the FBI.
