How many more people must die at churches or concerts or schools before we stop letting the @NRA control this country's gun policies?

Let's ask the NRA instructor who took down the convicted criminal the government illegally allowed a gun, shall we?

This incident is going to be a tough one for the left.

Well looking at his history and the fact he purchased a gun legally I wouldn't think so
After all the mass shootings I would assume it would be easy.

He did not purchase it legally. By law he was prohibited from owning firearms.

Oh? I heard the Air force failed to relay information that would have made it illegal for him to own guns so he could buy as many as he liked.

So does a lack of communication between government departments make his actions legal?
That Is a pathetic argument.

Did he legally walk in and buy a gun?
Yes it is. You'll get no argument here. Still happened.

I saw a video interview with him, he noted he used and AR-15 with an EoTech optic. He was simply noting this as he was mentioning the 20 yard distance between them and it was not any fancy shooting on his part when so equipped at such short range.

Watch the video, that's exactly what he had and he stated if he had only a pistol...the outcome would have been different.

Let’s not miss the point of this thread... this chap had his wits about him, was brave enough to manage his fear. If you want to argue about the gun...a 30-06 hitting the body armor at 20 yards would have ended things right then.

Yup the point being he was legally allowed to carry and own the firearm he went for in his safe.

Crooks and thieves and such that steal and rob from law abiding people with
intent to take our guns and use them against us, in hainus crimes against us..
Yea, right take my guns away that will make me safer.
Tale away my right to own a gun, that will make a thief have to go to a gun
shop and bust in there, before he breaks and enters my home. :-)
Fu-very much.

I figured a long time ago about a civil war between the east and the west.
City folks against country folks.
Here it is.
Oddballs, and offthewalls, going left and to the right.
Killing people with no concern, not knowing wrong from right.
Like a blinde man in the dark.
He stikes out and you can't blame him until a line is crossed,
a point is passed then it's no longer ok.
Explain that to the blind man then
Explain that to battered beaten up friend next door who
only wanted to help.

Demonstrates what training can do. Sounds like a good baseline to implement.

I agree, it would be the only “regulation” I would stand behind.

No, he did not legally buy a gun. He knew he was convicted of domestic assault. He knew he was prohibited from buying firearms. He knew it was illegal for him to own the firearms. If he did not know these things, we know that ignorance is no excuse.
With your logic, people who are not aware of the window tint laws in AB should not get a ticket. But on the contrary, it is up to the individual to know the laws of the land.

I have an .06 and you are right. AND if some guy was shooting up my street I would nail his sorry azz with it. Take my chances with the law.

Yup, takes balls to go into a situation that may end up with you being dead.
Most won't do it but will tell you how they would take care of business in the office coffee room.

So you're relying on the awareness and honesty of the guy who walked into a church and opened fire..... seems like a reasonable system.

And the truly sad part, is that while he is seen as a hero in Texas, here in Canada, he would likely be arrested, and treated as a criminal for his actions.

No it won't. Far as they are concerned if there were no guns, incidents like this wouldn't happen.

Not an east/west or rural/urban thing. It is Anti gun vs pro gun issue, especially the pro handgun and pro semi auto 'assault' styled gun supporters who are grossly outnumbered and will come under ever growing disgust every time there is another incident like this.

There will never be no guns. But yes, you are right. Their goal is confiscation.

Is that not how the law works? The honesty and integrity of the common citizen?
