    Not a common name - could be someone different and it could be the same person setting up a scenario to look like a hero so he gets off on the rape charge

    Just speculating here because that story is really fishy

    I've found a number of people in Alabama with that name...


    And what was 'fishy' about the story?

    Why does this sort of story not happen outside the USA?

    Not every liberal wants to ban firearms. But many, or maybe most, want to restrict them... like not allowing guns in dollar stores.

    Yeah,because we all KNOW people like the man who first brought the gun in the store and was herding the people in back,would follow that rule.

    Not a rule. A metal detector.

    Attention all mom and pop stores across the country...

    You must now budget the purchase of a metal detector for FY2015.

    Sounds like some stupid rule our president would issue.

    What is your solution to this problem?

    I'm guessing that it just involves another gun in the equation.

    Out of curiosity, how many shots did it take the gunslinger to kill the Kevin? Did he empty his magazine completely or did he use--like Clint Eastwood would--one shot between the eyes?

    It's amazing, but the mass murderers never seem to choose a spot to commit their crime when there's a CCW gun owner nearby. For some reason, the CCW people only show up to stop the shooter before he gets to three. Is it that the democrats and nutsos planning on committing mass murder choose only DemocRAT defined Gun Free Zones because they're easy targets, or is it because guns in the hands of citizens prevent random acts of murder from becoming random acts of mass murder?

    Liberals refuse to answer, because neither option makes them look good.

    People who vote for Obama don't like solutions that work.

    They support throwing 6,000,000 people off the insurance they're happy with so King Obama can pretend 7,100,000 people signed up for ObamaCare.

    They support red lines in the sand, but not the military might needed to make such a line mean anything.

    They support economic policies devoted to killing jobs, and then blame people who aren't in office for the dearth of jobs.

    They support disarming entire cities, then ignoring the record rates of murder in Chicago.

    Yes. You don't stop the Taliban with a hug.

    This may sound crazy, but no matter how much legislation you write, the criminals will always have guns. Criminals don't follow laws, shocking I know, but I would want everyone who can pass a concealed carry class with no prior felonies should have a gun.

    Do you think if everyone on Ft. Hood carried a side arm, that this guy could go off and shoot 19 people? Or do you think he may have gotten a few and then been taken out? Or, more likely, he would have gone to one of these "gun free zones" and fired there.

    Yeah. A gun would have stopped the twin towers from collapsing.

    Is that why there were so many criminals walking around with guns in a dollar store?

    Arming America is your answer to gun violence, huh. Why do you approve of background checks? How will the mentally ill defend themselves from deranged shooters lurking around every corner?

    Gun nuts really hate gun-free zones. There were armed guards at the navy yard and Columbine. The shooters know they'll end up dead regardless, so your assumption that they won't carry out a shooting because they'll get shot is false. Your assumption that they won't kill anyone before a "good guy" shoots them is also false. Life isn't a TV show.

    Remember, kids: The only thing that stops a criminal with a gun is a criminal with a gun.

    No different then saying there are too many cars that wreck and kill people, too many swimming pools in backyards where kids drown, too many knifes that people get stabbed with, ect...

    All of the above (guns included) are a part of society that is here to stay no matter how much certain groups whine about it. Deal with it.

    Absolutely true.

    If the gun was in the hands of the passengers who didn't have their Second Amendment freedoms stolen from them when they boarded an aircraft...something the Federal government is Constituitonally prohibited from doing...

    and if the PILOT had some guns in the cockpit.

    EITHER condition would have prevented your pals from using commercial passenger aircraft as weapons.

    Yeah, arm everyone on a plane. Arm criminals and toddlers. That will make it so much safer. Most of all, we want to arm the "good guys"... whoever they are.

    5 hurt in accidental shootings at 3 U.S. gun shows


    Why are you claiming that I am "pals" with terrorists?

    Funny you mention that because yes trained Marshalls might have stopped the 911 hijackers.

    One can see by your ignorant hyperbole that you're aware that an armed citizenry is a safe citizenry.

    After all, EVERYONE knows that the moose-limbs would never have considered hijacking an aircraft carrying armed passengers that could shoot back.

    You voted for Obama.

    Reality versus wishful thinking

    There is a difference

    - - - Updated - - -

    Might have but then adequate safety checks might have done a lot more too

    Actually there are only two recorded incidents of an untrained CCW trying to stop a mass shooting - one was critically injured and the other ended up dead

    We have no indication that the incident in the OP was going to be a mass shooting

    What adequate safety checks? Are you suggesting a trained and armed Marshall would not have handled a man or two with a box cutter?
