Guy shooting....No law enforcement...Good argument for the 2nd amendment.
Only morons think the answer to mass shootings is more guns. It is like saying the answer to arson is more matches.
Only a real moron would just let himself get shot dead because he didn't have the tools or the balls to protect himself.
backfire
[ˈbakˌfī(ə)r]
NOUN
- A fire set intentionally to arrest the progress of an approaching fire by creating a burned area in its path, thus depriving the fire of fuel.
The myth of the good guy with a gun is just that: a myth.
According to you. But we all know you're full of shit.
"Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 every day. Most often, the gun is never fired...
Every year, 400,000 life-threatening violent crimes are prevented using firearms...
60 percent of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they knew the victim was armed. Forty percent of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they thought the victim might be armed...
Felons report that they avoid entering houses where people are at home because they fear being shot...
Fewer than 1 percent of firearms are used in the commission of a crime..."
Guns Prevent Thousands of Crimes Every Day, Research Shows | Lawrence W. Reed
You been hanging around with 2 boy again.
I don't "hang out" with anyone. I'm a walking, talking example of the 2nd Amendment, and am one of those proverbial "good guys with a gun" you hope might be around when some nutcase goes off on a shooting spree.
Do you have a Concealed Weapon Permit?
Had one since 2010 and have carried every day since then: Glock 19 Gen4, 15 in the magazine, one in the the chamber, two spare mags, pepper spray, tactical knife and flashlight.
Sometimes I'll wear level IV body armor under my shirt if I'm out of town and carrying a wad of cash. I also collect and repair firearms, handload for 10 different calibers, and shoot thousands of round a year. Have my own range in the back yard.
Be careful with those Glocks. You could shoot yourself in the foot.
All my carry weapons have safeties.
My safety is my index finger. The first weapon I carried was a Ruger P-89. It's hammer-fired, double-action, and has that goofy de-cocker type safety on it. The problem was that the safety lever could get snagged on clothing and when you pulled the trigger, nothing would happen.
Glocks are meant to be ready to go without having to fumblefuck with a safety lever, which is why they're favored by law-enforcement. You just have to follow the basic rule of firearms safety rule number 3: Keep you finger off the trigger until the sights are on the target.
And make sure the trigger doesn't get snagged on your clothing if you have to re-holster it. That's happened to more than several police officers.
That right there is why I prefer my plastic Springfield Armory XDS 45. It's got a grip safety. My cousin has a Glock 45 and he has a manual safety on the trigger itself that blocks the trigger lock thingy.
