Let me guess...NRA will say that if people killed in NY today had guns it would have saved people!!

So let's arm everyone, that will stop crazy gunmen!

I can't wait for the NRA press release.

1. I think

every student in high school and college in America should be armed with at least one handgun FOR SAFETY'S SAKE. It's exactly what the founding fathers intended.

[damntexdem]

10. No, no, handgrenades.

They won't be safe without grenades.

And the teachers should all have 50-calibre machine guns.

[tekisui]

2. Before that, you will be accused of

using a tragedy to promote a political aganda. Why must we sensationalize these mass shootings? They have nothing to do with gun control.:sarcasm:

I've hear the argument everytime.

[slackmaster]

3. Are you seriously saying that the fact that none of the hostages were armed was a GOOD thing?

:crazy:

[damntexdem]

11. I don't know about anyone else, but I say: "Absolutely yes!!!!"

One nutcase blasting people with guns and taking hostages is bad enough. Several people trying to blast the nutcase is much, much worse. If I'm in the midst of such a shooting, I only want to have to dodge bullets coming from one direction.

[KansasVoter]

16. Are you serious? Then you want 300 million armed americans all day long?

[slampoet]

4. Uh, how do you get a gun if you're not a citizen yet?

Oh that's right, buy it on the black market like the psychos do.

[Barack_America]

5. I believe that is their standard issue statement for these events.

Which are happening with frightening frequency.

But the key is to not only be armed, but constantly surveying your surroundings with your loaded weapon. Can't risk being caught unawares. Too many armed people died in that Alabama shooting because they were shot before they had the chance to raise their guns.

Valuable lessons courtesy of the NRA.

12. Surround yourself with land mines.

Then you won't have to be so aware -- you'll either hear them go off, or you'll be blown to pieces so it won't matter anyway.

[uppityperson]

6. 4 minutes. eom

[Ilsa]

8. 4 minutes 'til "locking"? Or 4 minutes for someone like me to find

a pistol in her handbag? Not that I have one.

[uppityperson]

9. 4 minutes to a post agreeing with

the OP's proposed NRA statement.

[damntexdem]

14. But if you lock your handbag, it won't matter what weapon you have in it.

Besides, is your handbag big enough to hold a RPG launcher?

[Ilsa]

7. They should have gotten loaded before loading:

Life in Texas.

[Puzzler]

13. The NRA should be announcing their annual convention...

... in that unfortunate town soon.

[depakid]

17. Actually, they have quite a few towns to choose from this year

[moondust]

15. Why hasn't this incident been swept under the rug yet?

The NRA gets upset when attention to these little incidents lingers on and on. People might start to think there is something wrong. Move on, I say! Move on!

:sarcasm:

18. Not just the NRA would say that -- any sane person would say the same

Enjoy being a victim.
