A great solution to prevent future shooting sprees in America

[QUOTE="jackfruitchips"]

I've just found a great solution: when going to work, theaters, restaurants or schools, everyone should carry a gun, so that if a shooter opened fire in a public place, he'd gunned down instantly.

What countries? Switzerland has more guns and far looser gun laws than anyone else, and their crime rate is next to zero. Conversely look at places with tight gun laws, New York and California for instance where they make owing a gun next to impossible for conceal carry, but yet they have one of the highest crime rates in the world.

It vaires.

I don't think I would trust this world if everyone had a gun. You are assuming everyone has training. How about a better solution.... stop selling assault rifles and full automatics to civilians.NEWMAHAY

"assault" is a broad term, you are thinking of fully automatic weapons, which you cannot purchase legally in the first place unless you have the right license, which is impossible to get.

Assault is actually just cosmetic parts of a fire arm, for instance one of my handguns has has a darker metal finish than others so it is deemed an "assault" weapon, but it is not full auto or anything like that. It's just a regular hand gun.

A lot of people are misinformed when it comes to gun laws, people shouldn't debate them if they don't understand them to begin with.

......... This is as fvcking stupid as the fearmongering after 9/11.. The fact of the matter people is this.. Yes these are tragic, yes these are terrible events that impact numerous people.. But they are minscule in the grand scheme of things when it comes to the cost of human life in the US.. You statistically have a greater chance of getting killed in a car accident on the way to work or struck by lightning.. Than you do getting killed by a terrorist or gunned down in public place... Influenza has a greater chance of making you buy the farm than this.. If we are going to crazy about this, how the hell are you people able to get into a car, or touch another person why you have a greater chance of getting killed in a automobile accident or by a germ than you do this?sSubZerOo

A massacre happens (which is pretty rare) and all the sudden everyone is so uptight on banning guns.

Jeez, everyone sure does like to overreact.

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"][QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]I also think armed security should be in public places, schools, malls ect...have armed guards everywhere. They do that in Israel.ShadowMoses900

I feel safer around guns then without them. Maybe you are the opposite. I would prefer to conceal carry but since not all places allow that, then they should have armed security on sites or upgrade police presence. Not with pistols either, but with rifles and guard dogs too.

No criminal scum is going to attack a place knowing there are armed people who will shoot him.

I would feel safer.

I got a better idea, everyone wears body armor and drives a Apc Stryker. An Apc Stryker will be the new SUV in 2013.

Kinda reminds me of the Philippines when the wife and I made a trip there. There were armed security guards on every major establishment. They were heavily armed too with either shotguns or M-16s.

Just give everyone the Halo: CE pistol.

:lol: that would NEVER work!

[QUOTE="harashawn"]Yeah! Or, how about nobody carries guns?seahorse123

and you intend to enforce that how?

My idea

I lot of people would have survived if they had the ability to shoot back.DaBrainz

Captain Hindsight does it again!

Yes, I'm sure that would work out great in a dark, smoke filled movie theater. -Sun_Tzu-

should we still blame rap music?Nengo_Flow

I blame yodel music instead

I am not an advocate for gun rights one way or another, but that solves nothing... If a criminal wants a gun they are going to get a gun...
