(6,268 posts)If that does not even rarely happen in the real world, if at all, then why would it happen at a school. How often do the police show up and simply "start shooting everything that moves"? Did the police show up to the shootings in aurora, columbine, snady hook, or virginia tech and just shooting at anything that moved? How often have civilians carrying (legally permitted) concealed weapons shown up to a mass shooting event and just started shooting at anything that moved? Sure, such outrageous events would be well documented in the media.
Even the guy with the concealed weapon at the Gabby Giffords shooting (yes, there was someone in the vicinity with a permitted concealed handgun) didn't pull his gun out and start blasting. According to the interviews, he never drew it from his holster because he was uncertain exactly who/where the shooter (loughner) was. If you've ever attended a state-certified course for concealed carry licensing, these kinds of topics are covered. I assure you, "don't run in and start blasting anything that moves" advice is thoroughly taught.
DU has enough shit-logic and fallacies floating around without you having to make up more red-herring excrement for the rest of us to wade though.
