or bats. I was at the mall doing my walk last month or so and I saw this kid I used to go to high school with. He was in Special Education (which is what we call special classes for people with special needs...) & so was I, but that's beside the point. He had a baseball bat sticking out of his backpack in the mall. I debated whether or not to notify the authorities, but he's not a dangerous person from what I can remember and I decided that it would probably be better to tell his parents, but I don't know them/don't have their number. Anyway, doesn't it seem unnecessary to have a weapon at all? I think we ought to be past that personally.
A church goer in Texas who brought a gun with him to church, saved everyone from a mass shooting. Who’s to say it’ll never happen at a barber shop?
There has been a weird rash of barber murders across Oregon in recent weeks. It's dangerous out there for a barber
i'm sorry I didn't see your quote until just now. How weird. I think the idea that they take matters into their own hands rubs me the wrong way. We have laws and police. They seem to work fine for a lot of people. Those who are into policing their own lives are a little wacky to me. Maybe that's just me being a pacifist.
Guns don't kill people... Until they kill people. "A 4-year-old boy died Thursday after he was accidentally struck by a bullet from a gun that discharged while he was wrestling with his father. Tripp Shaw died at 8:17 a.m. Thursday from head injuries in the shooting Sunday night at his home south of Bloomington, Indiana, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office reported. The child's father, Tyler Shaw, 36, was struck in the head with the same bullet that killed his son. Shaw's injuries were not serious. Police reported that the two were struck with a bullet from a Glock semi-automatic handgun Tyler Shaw had tucked into his pants when the accident happened about 8 p.m." Indiana 4-year-old dies after being accidentally shot while wrestling with his father Yeah, I know... It was nowhere near Richmond, so it's not relevant.
While I'll admit that what you point out has some basis in fact, it's my opinion that the number of responsible, law abiding people who would be negatively affected by such laws vs. how many incidences may be prevented/lives saved doesn't justify considering them. I'd guess it to be a .00001% or lower rate of accurately guessing who the next crazy with a firearm is. I'd rather have the responsible people in a position to help in a horrible situation than have them hand tied by some silly legislation that doesn't work, is redundant to existing statutes, and is only presented to placate the anti firearm lobby while nibbling away at a constitutional and God given right defend yourself.
