No. How many of the shooting deaths in the Florida bar were prevented by the bouncers? . Oh! ha ha OK that's a real question. I was like WTF??? As you know there was an armed security guard, an off duty cop, who exchanged gunfire with the shooter right away, with more cops arriving in the first 5 minutes. I guess the attacker won? But it was a shootout with guns. Not some guy with a billy club blowing a whistle as he's gunned down. All of the attackers guns were legal. I'm sure if more lethal weapons were legal he would have had them.

From CNN pseudo-reporting: Mateen carried an assault rifle and a pistol into the packed Pulse club about 2 a.m. Sunday and started shooting, killing 49 people and wounding at least 53, officials said. After a standoff of about three hours, while people trapped inside the club desperately called and messaged friends and relatives, police crashed into the building with an armored vehicle and stun grenades and killed Mateen. tmiddles wrote: I guess the attacker won? But it was a shootout with guns. Nope. Read the above reporting. It was a crowd of defenseless people armed only with their cell phones desperately texting versus one, single criminal. If those people had had guns along with their cell phones, there would not have been the 49 deaths. One more time, to close out your point, if guns had been allowed in that bar, 49 people who are now dead would be alive, and 53 people who were injured, would not have been injured. Ergo, yes, guns should be allowed in bars or you don't value human life. Which one is it? tmiddles wrote: All of the attackers guns were legal. Irrelevant.

I think a simple shotgun is ideal for home defense and a poor choice for a mass murderer. Outlawing weapons based on their potential to serve a mass murderer or kill police is good policy. Hopefully nonlethal weapons will continue to develop. It's very easy to imagine there could be something more effective than a gun to stop someone.

tmiddles★★★★★ (3979)	GasGuzzler wrote: What's your? Spell it out. You want every gun gone? Guns that are well suited to defending against a single intruder/attacker are different from guns designed for offense against a crowd or assault team. Handguns, long guns, shotguns, and single shot anything where the risk of bullets going through walls is mitigated should be legal. Machine guns, high capacity magazines, armor piercing rounds and explosives should be illegal. I also realize how passionate many people are about having a gun. These tend to be people who are political opponents but I have no desire to antagonize anyone. It would just be too painful for many in the country if guns were illegal. I think the need is emotional and philosophical more than practical but I don't believe in having laws beyond what's truly important. There should be a very high bar to what the government is allowed to prohibit.

I think if guns were totally illegal there would be plenty because people love them so much. But since you get to have a lot of guns the enthusiast can live without a machine gun or RPG. The criminal has to settle for what the marketplace has supplied so those illegal guns aren't to be had.

This is the tell-tale sign of your irrational fear. You lash out at law abiding citizens for the actions of criminals, and your intense sense of helplessness to stop criminals manifests itself in the form of a fear of inanimate objects which, in your mind, become symbols of criminals. You then treat law abiding citizens who have firearms as criminals who need to be regulated and monitored and confined to where they can be watched. Of course you treat the NRA, who advocates that law abiding citizens be treated as law abiding citizens, as some sleazy defense attorney for the obviously guilty.

The constant fear of home invasion burglary and zombie apocalypse do look silly from the outside. All while people also die from their own guns. But I don't think it's that important honestly. Those who are deathly afraid of guns need to relax too. It's reasonable for people to have a gun for protection. I do believe the 2nd amendment was written in view of a government keeping it's populace defenseless (against the government) as England tried to do. But that's not what the amendment says and it should be respected. If people want to get the 2nd amendment repealed that's what they should have to do to make all guns illegal. I would consider that to be a really obnoxious attack on 1/2 the country by the other 1/2. I would actively oppose it. It is very important to keep the law confined to guns appropriate to self defense and hunting without including weapons that pose an undue threat in the hands of a mass murderer, those who want to attack police and so on. No armor piercing bullets, no bazookas, no tanks.

No armor piercing bullets, no bazookas, no tanks. This is an entirely reasonable concern and it is completely appropriate for a community to engage in a discussion about preventing crime/atrocities/violence. With that in mind, it is not the place of the law to prevent criminal activity but rather to define it and to enable the administration of justice. Prevention can only occur from human activity and it befalls on the community to decide how they want to effect such, e.g. establish neighborhood watch, hire security patrols, pay more in taxes for greater police presence, conspicuous surveillance cameras, etc... A big item on that list is for people to be armed and to be responsible for deterrence and for their own defense ... one of the reasons encapsulated in the 2nd Amendment. As for the law, that is the place for the people to express which crime they abhor by increasing penalties for the commission of those crimes. If you are banning firearms from law abiding citizens then you are inappropriately using the law in the manner of a tyrannical government. The answer is to delineate the concerns, e.g. use of armor piercing bullets, bazookas or tanks in the commission of a crime, and to define a penalty fitting for the act. That way you can criminalize and punish what you abhor without going Stalin on law abiding citizens. . I don't think i can [define it].

I can make jokes about RPGs because there aren't any. I know full well if you banned all guns in the country tomorrow in short order criminals would have a huge advantage as guns would be easy to get and law abiding citizens would then be easy to overpower. Stricter bans might works in some countries, the UK, because it's really hard to get a gun, and not in other, Venezuela, because it's not. Any ideal someone has has to be considered in view of reality. Government policy on vehicle emissions, privacty laws, all of it.

Stricter bans can work in those countries because those people don't strive to American exceptionalism. They don't have America's Bill of Rights. They exist at the pleasure of their governments. They ask permission from the government to exist. We Americans don't put up with that chit. The government exists to serve We the People. . I don't think i can [define it].

I recommend an Amazon show PATRIOT in which, (I'm not ruining anything) at one point the guy needs to get a gun in France, it's pretty funny and I think based at least in part on reality.

No lamp replicates the sun. The infamous parlor trick is never performed out in open sunlight.

They never just do it outdoors in direct sunlight for free. Good catch. . I don't think i can [define it].
