So, you find it distasteful that a man can defend his life and property
by proper use of a firearm at the proper time? Would you rather have
seen the perpetrator cut the shopkeeper's throat?

Thanks,

no, that is not what I said - I haven't watched the movie and I don't
intend to. What I said is that we used to find this violence offensive
and bad, and every respondent except me has done nothing but gloat over
the employment of violence. That is what is sad, not that someone in
defense of their life was successful. I stand by my statement, you guys
are sick

Think what you want, but if you are ever in a Luby's, or McDonald's, or
other situation where there is a camoed up shooter, no, you cannot borrow
my gun. If that makes me sick, then I'm sick. Is being willing to
defend one's own life, and those of innocent bystanders an indication of
being sick, and if so, how so?

No problem, I won't be there. I leave places where people carry weapons,
and I take my business elsewhere.

Yup, you walk out when a person enters the diner and starts shooting. Tell
him I have to leave as I take my business where guns are not allowed. Guns
were not allowed in the high school in Columbine. How did that work out?
And the cops waited 45 minutes outside the school before entering. How did
that help?
