Quote from kmgilroy89:
The guy was wearing body amour and had an AR-15. These teachers would have been no match for him with a handgun. Don't think for a second that they would have stopped him. Remember the shooting at the Empire State Building? 9 civilians got injured bringing down that nut.
Body armor stops bullets. You also happen to get knocked on your ass in the process. Within 20 yards, it's not difficult to hit a torso with a handgun. With multiple shots, that kid would have been slammed against the wall. Don't think one teacher, with one gun. Think 7 or 8 teachers with guns, running to the scene.
As far the Empire State shooting, cops open fired on a crowded street with pedestrian background. What would you prefer? We let these little psychos empty their clip on a group of kids, while we wait 20 minutes for the cops to show up?
This is the whole point, man. Liberals think there is some perfect outcome, "if only" we pretend reality doesn't exist. Well, I'm very sorry, friend. But reality exists. Psychopaths exist. And you can write all the laws you want, but the blackmarket exists, too. So those criminals will find those weapons whether you "ban" them or not, and they will shoot your ass up, if you're at the wrong place, at the wrong time. The question is: what do we do about it? Do we sit and cower under our desk and wait for the cops to show up and strut around outside, fixing their jock strap? Or do we train some willing teachers in every school how to use a firearm (easy shit), and put a locked safe in a few classrooms, and open fire on these bitches when they go on a rampage?
There is no "perfect world". There is very little you, or any Liberal can do, once a person has decided to hurt and/or murder other people. All we can do once that choice has been made, is to stop them WITH FORCE. Violence, when used in self-defense, is a good thing. Self-defense is a GOOD thing.
