In reply to the discussion: Shopper guilty in tackling of man with gun at Walmart [View all]GGJohn
(9,951 posts)69. How logical is it to tackle someone minding their own business?
You do know that Mr. Daniels could have drawn his gun and shot Mr. Foster and it would have been ruled as justified?
You do know that Mr. Daniels can be sued out of existence by Mr. Foster because of the crime?
There was no logic involved here, but I'll bet there was some racism involved on the part of Mr. Foster.
As far as the banksters, I would agree that they should be in jail.
Checkmate.

Were you under the impression that it's difficult to smuggle *anything* into this country?

No but I had no idea that it is currently "easy to smuggle ammo" into this country. WTF?

Some DUers don't realize how they contribute to racial tension. Liberal, indeed.

Your logic is flawless and I agree: "Stop&Frisk" is a great idea. Here's another one:

If 99.9% of gun-owners pose no threat to you, why would you need a gun in the first place?

Where do they get this; "I have a right to not be afraid" idea? Did I miss a SCOTUS decision?

Your steps presume that the level of violence would increase along with the # of weapons

Would you like to know, before people speak, whether they'll incite a riot too?

Legal isn't the same as logical, otherwise Wall Street banksters would be in jail.
