22. Ah, the Ted Nugent argument.
Edited on Wed Mar-30-11 04:07 PM by louis-t
The good guys are always perfect in their assessment of the situation, always hit their target with one shot (right between the eyes, I believe), and I think they always blow the smoke from the barrel when they're done, don't they? You were making excuses for why the law 'biden cit-zen didn't take out the shooter (because he got there after the fact). We make fun of the rhetoric (If only there had been...) especially when an unarmed, little old lady disarmed the guy by grabbing the full clip away from him when he went to reload (she 'assessed' the situation pretty well, don't you think?). Another unarmed citizen tackled the guy while a third unarmed guy grabbed the weapon. The only armed guy in the crowd came by after the fact, took a bead on the wrong guy (he DIDN'T assess the situation very well now, did he?) and damned near shot him. Any other stupid questions?
