There are tens of thousands of dead people, killed by those who thought they'd never have an accident with a gun, or crack like Billy, or have a child find their unsecured weapon, or ...... People with your attitude ARE the problem. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porpoishead 8 #107 May 25, 2022 Fair enough Jack so it’s likely that you don’t do what I do and don’t frequent dangerous places where being unarmed would be very foolish. because of these differences you and I may never come to a complete agreement on a gun debate I respect that you choose to be unarmed and I also respect your position on anything else regardless if I agree or not. I get the outrage on this it’s understandable what billy did was pure horror i cannot defend what he did he went out pretty bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
porpoishead 8 #109 May 25, 2022 Billy didn’t have a lot of money I suspect maybe that’s why he wasn’t really interested from a financial standpoint he certainly wasn’t a criminal only time he had a scrape with the law was years ago he drove aggressively like a complete asshole and had road rage issues he was speeding trying to pass some ridiculous road beef and a trooper got after him so he tried to duck off on an exit and of course being deaf he was probably given all kinds of commands he didn’t follow so he got his ass kicked by the trooper on the side of the road… once they figured out what was what it was all resolved he was definitely interested in hunting again with financial constraints what can you do im not familiar with any restriction that would have prevented billy from owning a firearm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was able to buy his guns with no restrictions. And THAT, right there, is the core of the problem. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porpoishead 8 #114 May 25, 2022 Somehow in all these debates that start with a bad person with bad intentions somehow “the core” as you call it Kallend gets lost in translation… in your opinion who should be armed and who shouldn’t please explain that to me. who’s life is worth defending and who’s isn’t??

porpoishead 8 #115 May 25, 2022 Justin I love you brother I haven’t spoken to you in a while I hope you are doing well… an armed man that was willing to risk his life so that others could live stopped that massacre by shooting and killing the bad guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After the gunman gained entry to the school, police from various departments gathered to form a tactical unit. A Border Patrol tactical unit responded to the scene, and one of its agents shot and killed the suspect, according to a source with the agency.

As long as you understand that the gun you own is FAR more likely to be used against you and yours than you stopping any imagined "threat", then at least you have the facts. You can lead a horse to water etc..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #125 May 25, 2022 2 hours ago, porpoishead said: I don’t claim to know the future I know this we are surrounded by evil and you never know when it will come No. We aren't 'surrounded by evil'. I don't disagree with the 'you never know when it will come', but to pretend we live in a time and place where it's necessary to be armed and the unarmed are at the mercy of the 'thugs' is just silly. There was a post by BillEisle (sp?) a month or so ago about people leaving their guns in their unlocked cars at night and the guns being stolen. So these people live in a place so dangerous and crime-infested that they feel the need to have a gun in their car at all times, yet leave it unlocked in the driveway at night?
