He had an AR-15 with a 100 round drum magazine....
Because that's what a well-regulated militia looks like... a guy who thinks he's the Joker with a Machine Gun.
That jammed...he also had a shotgun and pistol.......and went to the only theater in the area that banned concealed carry.....and surrendered as soon as he was confronted by someone with a gun....
the gun free zone attracted his attack...that's on you.
Uh, yeah, that situation would have been made SOOOO much better if dozens of people were randomly firing in a darkened theater.
Guns don't kill people, people do.Naw,man, that's the definition of democracy.
The problem with you gun fetishists is you think that an amendment about militias (largely obsolete now because militias have been replaced by professional armies and police forces) applies to letting every crazy person have a gun. And we all scratch our heads and wring our hands when someone goes into a school and shoots up four people like happened yesterday, but the fetishists start screaming about their "rights" and nothing gets done.
Most gun deaths are domestic violence - either suicides or people murdering their friends or family. It's gun proliferation that's the problem, not "criminals".
If you really want to make a comparison to cars, that's fine. Cars are regulated, insured, policed, and licensed.
If we let the NRA run cars, your morning commute would look like a cross between The Road Warrior and a Fast and Furious film.
Gee that is a lot of stupid that you have posted. Any time an area becomes DIVERSIFIED---the new immigrants especially illegal ones try to overthrow the current population. We see this now with the illegals flooding over....Gunny you list all these things, and never mention the Genocide of Native Americans in the United States or slavery.
Okay, news flash. Human being treat eachother pretty shabbily, and when governments pander to the worst in us, there's not much you can do about it.
Idiots with guns are not going to prevent government from acting badly... Germans owned lots of guns before WWII. Not a one of them rushed out and stopped the Nazis from carting off their Jewish neighbors. It was more like, "Can I have his stuff?"
Having guns in this country didn't stop the government from carting off hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans, either. (Yes, yes, you'll point out that FDR ordered that, while ignoring that Republicans like Earl Warren were completely on board. You are so fucking predictable that we can anticipate your sad arguments.
Here's the thing. Most people won't go out there and put their neck out for anyone. Period. Full stop.

Yeah, in actual mass public shootings where the victims have guns that hasnt happened….so you dont know what you are talking about, and leave it to you to want people helpless facing-a killer rather than being able to stop him
Guns don't kill people, people do.
The 2nd Amendment doesn't establish a militia...lol.

Slavery was bad but only lasted here for a couple of hundred years, unlike AFRICA where it has never completely ended and has lasted thousands. With European Whites and Americans fighting to try to end it there. Even here since its inception, there were many americans fighting against slavery.
The nazis outlawed guns for jews right before shipping them off to the gas chambers---I'll keep my guns thank you very much...especially since the communist government is encouraging illegals who commit crimes and the usual woke communists to commit more and more crimes. People are going to have to defend themselves with the attacks on cops.....If you bother to read history, there were reasons why our founders insisted on citizens being armed-----it does slow down corrupt governments.
The US locked up Japanese, GERMANS, and Italians fool during WW2 to prevent terror attacks as the axis evil planned and committed here on US soil. The reason why no one tried to stop this was that they were all doing their best to keep the country safe. Having those who were loyal to a country that we were at war with run loose to continue terror attacks would have been beyond stupid-------like allowing muslims screaming for deaths to come in here stupid. People were smarter then.
And btw, Americans certainly put their neck on the line for others during WW2......the more diversified, the more druggy and welfare inclined people now don't have the moral fortitude to do what is right nor desire.
Good guys with guns never stop mass shootings because mass shootings are usually over in minutes if not seconds.
For instance, in the Tuscon mass shooting where Gabby Gifford was maimed, a "good guy with a gun" rushed out... and almost shot one of the people who had subdued the shooter.
"A well-regulated militia, being necessary to a free state..." um, yeah, it's about militias.
It wasn't about gun ownership, because very few colonial Americans owned guns or could afford them or even had much use for them. (The weren't accurate for anything other than using in volleys, didn't have a high rate of fire.)
At 1789 Mass shooting would have been over after the first shot because they'd have mobbed the guy while he was reloading his powder.

Um, yeah, the bigots said the same thing about the Irish 150 years ago, the Germans 100 years ago and the Polish 50 years ago. What actually happens... immigrants assimilate.
It never should have happened here at all, period, full stop. We are still paying for the legacy of slavery.

Actually, the Nazis loosened gun laws imposed by the Weimar Republic, and rather than use them to overthrow Hitler, Germans went out and sent mobs of little boys and old men to fight last ditch efforts in the Volksgrenadiers.
The reason the founding slave rapists insisted on an armed citizenry was that they wanted to make sure people of privilege had the ability to put down the rabble. Gun ownership was an elite insitution when the founders started the country. You think Thomas Jefferson wanted Sally Hemmings to have a gun to protect herself from rape? He was the one doing the raping.
The reality- guns are more likely to kill people in the household than protect them.
Again, you are a little confused. We locked up 110,000 Japanese-Americans, all the ones living on the West cost. Of the 10,000 Germans and 5,000 Italians who were locked up, these were only the ones who were hard core pro-Fascist like Ernst Kuhn (An American Nazi who was deported to Germany after the war despite being a citizen).
We only got involved in WWII after we were attacked. We get no points for that.

Do you realize this is a lie?
Of course you do...but you simply want to troll...
There have been two shootings at Krogers...the one with the Asian attacker wasn't stopped, the other one had concealed carry gun owners there, and was stopped....
Almost every colonist owned a gun, you idiot...it was the frontier and they had to fight off indians.....
The nazis loosened gun laws for nazi party members and took guns away from Jews and other political enemies, who they then sent to camps to be murdered, you idiot.
Naw,man, that's the definition of democracy.

"A well-regulated militia, being necessary to a free state..." um, yeah, it's about militias.
But we are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic. That you refuse to address that, which was my argument in the post you replied to with the ridiculous "suicide pact" comment, proves you have no real argument that is grounded in the reality of what the US Constitution is and what it does.
And here you prove you rather argue wishful thinking, grounded in denial, argued from emotion and a belief that the Constitution is what you want it to be at any given moment in time. You need to reinforce the ridiculous assertion that gun rights rights people argue that gun rights secured in the Constitution "applies to every crazy person" . . .
Why do you feel this need to engage in such hyperbolic, completely detached from reality denial and negation of truth? Why this need to engage in such blatant, naked logical fallacy to make your points?
Do you realize how ridiculous, unhinged and unserious you sound saying crap like that?
You know he's out on bail right? Leftist "prosecutors" and soft judges make hardened criminals by returning evil to society to wreak the havoc you then blame on the law-abiding. What a reprehensible, morally bankrupt program of societal destruction to impose on the USA.
It is very clear you don't support gun control because of this deep concern you feel for reducing crime, because your employment of crime incidents and citing of statistics is always an insult to people's intelligence and so obviously disingenuous.
Sometimes I think you are actually an agent provocateur, working to undermine and embarrass the gun control side.
What exactly does the 2nd Amendment "do" that is "about" militias?
Has the 2nd ever been claimed as protection by a state to repel federal powers being exercised over the state's militia interests?
Why are all the Supreme Court's "2nd Amendment cases", instances of private citizens being granted standing to argue a rights injury?
Why aren't the Supreme Court cases that decided militia powers conflicts between the feds and the states known and recognized as our "2nd Amendment cases"?
The thing is, the 2nd Amendment has never been examined or held to offer any instruction or effect on militia issues . . . The 2nd was only mentioned once, in a dissent in an 1820 militia powers case, only to say the 2ndA offered nothing on the issue of deciding issues of militia order, training, organization and control -- (Houston v. Moore, 18 U.S. (5 Wheat.) (1820) which held for federal preemption of claims of state militia powers).
You argue a myth --that in federal law-- was inserted in the federal courts in two lower court decisions handed down in 1942*. That was the genesis of the "collective right" theories in the federal system and for the "militia right", was nothing but a resurrection of a theory that justified racist gun control policies of the Southern states during the Civil War period.
* Cases v. U.S., 131 F.2d 916 (1st Cir. 1942) for the "militia right" interpretation, U.S. v. Tot, 131 F.2d 261 (3rd Cir. 1942) for the "state's right" interpretation and then the dozens of lower federal court and state court decisions citing Tot and Cases into the 1980's . . . Which of course were invalidated in 2008 by Heller.
