It was NOT a coincidence that no one in the crowd had a gun. Out of
respect of the law, no one carried a gun to a federal official's

one, but I would not have because of the uproar it would have caused.
It is illegal to do so, and I'm sure that the Secret Service would
have been all over anyone carrying a gun, legal or not. Except for
the shooter, proving that one with an agenda cannot be stopped
easily.

Next time you shoot off your mouth, make sure it's loaded.

Sorry, you are mistaken.

It is NOT illegal (per se) to carry a gun in the presence of a federal
official.

It is not even illegal for a private citizen to carry a gun to a
presidential rally or function.

In the case of the latter, the Secret Service will decline to permit
him
entry, but it is not illegal.

Sorry about the way I stated it. Let's just say that I would not take a
gun
to a place where a federal official is present out of fear that it might
create a stir. Apparently, there was a firearm carrier there, and he did
not shoot the perp, but helped to subdue him. Proof that when people
carry
guns, they are not the maniacs many people think they are, but can
demonstrate a high degree of restraint. I wonder how many people would
have
shot the perp...............

The point is the gun(s) wre useless in defense. Which is what any one
with half a brain can deduce.
Oh there was the idiot above who explained how he "nearly shot a dog".
Does that count?

==================

Tell me in great detail why you believe it was improper for me to draw a
gun
in order to keep two badly behaved dogs from getting any closer than they
already were to my son, who happened to be doing absolutely nothing which
should cause dogs to go into "corner the target" mode.

There was zero risk to bystanders, since there were none. The setup was
perfect.

I await your humorous explanation. Please try to minimize the spittle.-

It is the irony of it all. We have six people murdered by a loon with
a gun. *And your justification for owning one, proving that it's
necessary is you nearly shot a dog (or two).
=================

I will do absolutely anything to protect my kid. That includes using my
teeth to rip out another person's trachea, and eating it, hopefully while
the offender's children are watching in horror. It is absolutely normal to
protect one's young using any means available, and anyone who disagrees with
this is seriously maladjusted.

You will attempt to prove me wrong. You will fail.

=================

Ever thought the owner
might then have shot you? * Dog owners are slightly mad.

=================
Of course. His attempt would've failed.

=================

I used to work for the local power company and was often confronted
with dogs of various temperaments.(Hundreds of times) I could always
handle the situation. I never felt the need to own a gun. *Just to
understand canine behaviour.

==========

I deal in absolutes. I was prepared to deal with those dogs in the exact
same way the police deal with them when they're called to deal with a
vicious dog which has just bitten someone. They make a decision very
quickly. If the animal cleanup officer(s) can't get there quickly enough,
they shoot the dog.

I can say with absolute certainty that if you had been in my situation, you
would NOT have been able to deal with these dogs by understanding their
behavior.

By the way, you pretended not to notice an issue I mentioned earlier. When I
educated the dog owner about what was about to happen, he was able to make
his dogs retreat by yelling a one word command. The police found this very
interesting. Can you explain WHY the police found this interesting? It
caused the police to take the guy's dogs away.- Hide quoted text -

So let me get this right.
Someone attacks your daughter, you shoot them?
Someone attacks your nieghbour's daughter you just stand by an let the
(rape?) proceed because you might get sued?
What a nasty fellow you are. Part of the American Me, Me, Me culture.
Well you don't seem to realise is, every woman/little girl is
someone's daughter.

As for the dog(s), this fellow has trained them to be a weapon
obviously.
He's as bad as you f@@@*g mind warped gun owners. Evil *******.
I would say he also likely had a gun. If you had shot his dog(s) I
expect he would have shot you as he was obviously another one with an
ego/penis problem. We have them over here too, but without guns.
And yes, I could deal with the dogs, without a gun too.
