Nope... But if other people were armed they could have stopped the one person.

There are almost no instances of a public shooter being stopped by another citizen with a gun, minus the police, because it is super rare to have a gun at your side or in your jacket in public places unless you have malicious intentions.

We are the #1 country for freedom when it comes to guns (why you hate freedom?), yet are the 12th for firearm related death, and 14th for homicide.

When you punish ME for the actions of OTHER people, you're def a dirty commie. When you try to subvert our glorious Bill of Rights with acts of congress and state laws instead of ratifying a new amendment (which would never happen), you're a lazy hippy. When you're scared of the astronomical odds of getting shot (0.00023% repeating ofc in a lifetime), you're a pussy. When you then vote to disarm yourself and become even more defenseless should you ever be backed into a corner, you're just a moran

Aowen. If you don't want to carry a gun then don't.

Why force your views upon others that believe differently? That isn't very American.

You also have to look at the fact that many of these public shootings happen in 'gun free' zones. So, you're average law-abiding gun carrier, does not have their gun. And like I said, in the mall shooting that happened in the past year, there was a guy that came out in the news as having his gun, but said what I said in my post earlier. They do these things in crowded public places to minimize the risk that someone can fight back without creating additional casualties in the process.

lolno. Guns are used in defense MORE often than illegally


Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year -- or about 6,850 times a day.1 This means that each year, firearms are used more than 60 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives

I think it would be strange to plan carrying a weapon into a batman premier. That to me would be consistent with the fear I was mentioning earlier, and would make me super uncomfortable if everyone was carrying guns around my child at school or sipping a soda next to me while watching Bruce Wayne whoop ass.
