Doesn't matter. It doesn't help the whole "always a civilian concealed carried" case what-so-ever, unfortunately.

Yeah, but wasn't this incident a off duty officer?

Ban fire: http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/17281424-418/story.html

I'm guessing that was one of those, legal ak47's that was registered. Too bad that wasn't taken away sooner...

I'm glad he didn't shoot. He has zero confidence. Probably would have made things worst.

Yeah there is some definite shenanigans at play here. Not sure what's going on.

You forgot the M. lol There is a whole book about what the M stands for, it must mean something. haha But in all honesty, it feels great in the hands. BTW, what is going to be considered high capacity... anyone know?

Prevention and cure: I'm just razzin ya though really. lol

This.

haha, I saw a comment on some article that said, essentially, "Well why don't you just hang a sign out in front of your house that says 'Gun-Free Zone'" I LOL'ed a little bit.

It's exactly why they are selling like hot cakes right now.

I bet they were legally owning those weapons too... eh

But but but, but those are bad peepole. LOL

Mike, do you think it's an increase in gun violence, or do you think it's just being talked about more now because of what happened?

What I am convinced of, is not necessarily that guns make things safer. However, taking guns away from law abiding citizens does nothing. Like was said earlier in this thread, if someone could wave a wand and POOF all guns were gone, that wouldn't be bad. With that said, I just bought one.. my only reason: Because everyone else is too. Which brings another point, you guys been to a gun shop lately? Tried to buy an AR? They are all sold out. That should be scarier than anything. In fact, I would love to see what gun sales are right now, because a lot of things are sold out. :-|

Yeah, why didn't they check him? What happens if he had any number of weapons on him.

Well, I'm buying one soon. So that's what... 1/1,000,000,000 lol

What fuel pump are you running H?

Fixed it lol.

I'm pro choice. Reason: It ain't my body, all I have to do is stick it in and keep it in. I don't feel I can say whether a woman can do or do not. I agree with Fudge_Brownie, technological advances can hopefully one day solve this issue. But cramming some dumb ass law into the "system" won't do anything effectively. Like I have said before, good chance that people will just let their guard down and be hit harder than they were the first time.

LOL, I put that pretty nicely haha. My initial thoughts were not. My point being, no one is saying DO NOTHING. What we ARE saying, is that what they WANT to do (and most likely will do) WON'T change anything. To be honest, I'm also ok with the status quo, for right now. As I feel like anything they do, right now, will in essence makes things much worst.

Did you have problems with reading comprehension in school?

Just stupid that they will use this as .05% of a reason. How about his Mom... why did she let him play those games. Oh wait, can't blame her, she's dead. I blame the parenting!! lol

Yup. And that can happen especially with out proper care of the pre-existing issues.
