They had "armed protection" and it was completely worthless.


Do any of these gun nuts have any rational thinking?
There were 4 armed police there.

I don't consider the gun enthusiasts to be nuts, the same way I don't
consider those who are against civilian owned firearms to be nuts.

However, a lot of people can be impractical and they can
compartmentalize their solutions to problems.

Because the ownership of semiautomatic weapons has gotten out of
control in this country, it probably is necessary to provide far
greater security in all public and semi-public venues, possibly for
several decades. This will become ridiculously expensive and actually,
the private security business is a growing sector of our economy, sadly.

In the meantime, as you know, it is my opinion that our nation needs to
force the semiautomatic genie back into the bottle. I for one do not
want to see the USA become a nation like Israel or Nigeria, who have
soldiers and police on every city corner all carrying automatic
weapons, having police snipers at concerts with millimeter wave radar
to detect the origins of bullets from evil snipers, or heavily armed
security guards in all of our houses of worship,, shopping malls and
airports.

If I were tasked with making America great, I would eliminate these
weapons of mass murder and make it very difficult for anyone to obtain
anything but sporting and realistic home defense firearms. It would
take years to get these weapons out of private hands, but, it could be
done. I would do a lot of other things too, but that is another topic.



I understand your thinking and your idea could certainly help, but of
course this is where we both differ.
I can never understand the need for any kind of weapon for protection.
Especially being allowed to carry a handgun around.
But of course we come from different cultures.

That's right, we're human and they're apes.


Hold that thought as the silverback tears your arm off and beats you
about the head with it. Humans are such delicate little creatures.
