Why Weren't Annapolis Victims Armed ?

Are you suggesting that all Americans be armed with loaded guns. Staff at women's clinics? Ushers in predominantly black churches? Jews at synagogues? Muslims at mosques? Sikhs and Buddhists at temples?
Absolutely, they should be. If ushers in the black church where Dylan Roof killed 9 people had been armed, most, if not all, of those people would be alive today. Same with those in San Bernardino, Fort Hood, etc.
 
I don't understand how it can be that 5 good people are shot dead by some lunatic, and all of them were walking around in public unarmed. I rarely go anywhere unarmed, and have my gun with me 99% of the time. If they had been armed (or even just 1 of them), the following scenario would have played out. Either >>>

1. The shooter would have been deterred and never would have showed up.

2. The shooter would have ran away as soon as he realized he had firearm resistance.

3. The shooter would have been shot dead, thereby saving at least some (if not all) of the lives that were lost.

I have heard that Maryland (blue state) is an entire, statewide gun-free zone. Not sure about that, but I do know that gun-free zones are getting people killed like flies, so I wouldn't doubt if that was part of the scenario here.

Does anybody know an answer to the question (title) of this OP ?


Why is the NRA national convention a gun-free zone every year.

Simple. They aren't. The only times that the NRA Conventions have been gun free is when the facilities require it or, as was recently the case, the POTUS comes to speak. Otherwise, guns are allowed and even welcomed.

State and city law
 
Maryland has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, yet cities like Baltimore have very high Black, on Black murder rates. Criminals can get guns, but the law abiding can not get a permit to carry, and must buy a license just to own a gun. Many guns are banned. It is a socialist HELL HOLE.
Sounds a lot like New York City. My sister, who moved here to Florida, from New York, says they're not even allowed to carry a pepper spray up there. Insanity.
 
Learning to read might help you. Did I say that they chose? Or did I pose a question in response to your question.

The simple fact is, you don't know either.
Which is why I asked a question. Duh!

And why I gave a perfectly valid suggestion as to one possible reason.

Do a little research. Maryland is overwhelmingly democrat. To suggest that people in the news media would choose not to own or carry a firearm makes sense.
 
You're saying you're "dead"?

That does explain a hell of a lot of your posts actually.
It doesn't do you a service, just being silly snarky. Even kind of shows you have nothing to contribute to the discussion.
 
Have you not been paying attention?

They were 'journalists'.

It makes sense to obey the law. If it had not been the law, it would not make sense (to voluntarily be vulnerable)

People in Maryland need to elect some Republicans, and start owning some gun rights.
 
Because they chose to outsource their protection to the government instead of exercising their right to defend themselves
 
How did we Americans ever get to the idea that we must all walk about in our communities with loaded guns? I have not in my considerable lifetime. I am not afraid of my neighbors. I am a civilized person. So are my neighbors.

It really is getting old hearing about all these people needlessly getting killed because of the scatterbrained idea of "gun-free zones' and/or just antipathy to gun self-defense. You'd think people would know better by now.

This is moronic. Your neighbors may be OK, and one day suddenly, they may not. Also you move about in the streets, not beside your nice neighbors, and are in the company of strangers. What if you got approached by THIS GUY ? Or any one of thousands more like him ? Offer him an ice cream cone ?

None of that changes the validity of my suggested reason why the people in question were unarmed.

It NEVER is! Let me explain some details that your MSM chooses to leave out. The convention is open and concealed carry carte' blanche'. When the Secret Service is present protecting the President (or whomever) the Secret Service ensures that they are the only entity with firearms (and they have plenty..lol). For that period of time that the SS is in command some call it a 'gun free zone' which obviously it's not.. duhh it's the SS. Once the protectees depart the SS announces that people are free to retrieve their firearms. Even in the 'overlap' there are always guns present on the floor, the citizens or the SS and briefly both. Hope that helps Newton, would love for you accompany me to the next one perhaps, lol.
 
People don't usually arm themselves in the workplace nor should they be required to. The survivors should feel lucky that Police were there in a minute. Contrast that with the Columbine school shootings where responding Police apparently waited for the shooting to stop before storming the building or Va.Tech Blacksburg where the local Police were interviewing witnesses while the shooter was murdering people across campus or Ft. Hood where M.P.'s were unarmed and had to call the local police or the Fla. school shooting where the Police Officer apparently ran the other way.
