This was not a political view, but rather, a common sense view.Save your political views for the day. Just pray innocent lives of college students/staff are not lost.
Who would you rather come into your bar ... a crazy guy with a butcher's knife or one with a gun?This incident is turning out to be a "butcherknifer" which may kickoff several other debates besides guns.
Hahahahaaa!!!Way, way, way too many butcher knives and too many unqualified owners.
The idea that people can walk around openly carrying butcher knives is appalling.
Wouldn't matter to me because he would find out in the blink of an eye if I had a gun in the bar, I assure you. If my life or the lives of others were threatened by the "crazy guy" as you say, it would be the last bar he ever walked into.Who would you rather come into your bar ... a crazy guy with a butcher's knife or one with a gun?

How soon after you're dead will you be reaching for your gun? I'm not trying to pick a fight, but guns should not be so easily available and there should be very strict limits on ownership and registration.Wouldn't matter to me because he would find out in the blink of an eye if I had a gun in the bar, I assure you.

But, as usual, you did pick a fight with your very first post here. What's new? And answer my question. If a crazy guy is coming at you with a gun do you want a butcher knife or a gun?How soon after you're dead will you be reaching for your gun? I'm not trying to pick a fight, but guns should not be so easily available and there should be very strict limits on ownership and registration.
There are very strict limits in Chicago. Some of the most strict in the country. As a matter of fact you aren't allowed to have one in the city. How's that working out for them? Fifty-eight shot and eight killed over the weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to you too.How soon after you're dead will you be reaching for your gun?

Sorry Brin. I am participating in that debate too. It is opinions like his that are dangerous and are behind the cause of the increased shootings everywhere.You can drop the gun debate, MC63, because the attacker used his car and knife and no gun was used...but turns out the attacker is a 18 year old Somali refugee.
If anyone made it a political argument, it wasn't me. My position is based on common sense.
You're right. It is a political argument and it shouldn't be...just as climate change shouldn't be, or abortion, or gay rights, etc., etc. etc. These issues along with others have become political arguments because the left in this country have made them political arguments instead of talking common sense.It is a political argument, you are all discussing gun control, which is political. You may believe your position is common sense, but clearly a great number of American's do not share your definition of common sense.
USD,And it turns into a political argument....never fails!
Toughest gun laws in America right here in good ole' Chicago.How soon after you're dead will you be reaching for your gun? I'm not trying to pick a fight, but guns should not be so easily available and there should be very strict limits on ownership and registration.
Thats because here it is the first charge pled out of. Though I believe restrictive gun laws are odious in principle, at least NYS/NYC prosecutes those laws as advertised (Plaxico Burress).Toughest gun laws in America right here in good ole' Chicago.
And tell me how that's working out?
Agreed...Thats because here it is the first charge pled out of. Though I believe restrictive gun laws are odious in principle, at least NYS/NYC prosecutes those laws as advertised (Plaxico Burress).
A gun, of course ... but why does that guy have one in the first place if he's crazy?And if a crazy guy came at you with a gun would you rather have a butcher knife or a gun?
I didn't make the first post. Only afterwards did I find out that the reports were erroneous.You can drop the gun debate, MC63, because the attacker used his car and knife and no gun was used...but turns out the attacker is a 18 year old Somali refugee.
Please answer my question - how do you shoot this guy when you're dead?But, as usual, you did pick a fight with your very first post here. What's new? And answer my question. If a crazy guy is coming at you with a gun do you want a butcher knife or a gun?
They are political because they are based on laws which politicians write. And what's the big deal about "being political," anyway. Who cares?You're right. It is a political argument and it shouldn't be...just as climate change shouldn't be, or abortion, or gay rights, etc., etc. etc. These issues along with others have become political arguments because the left in this country have made them political arguments instead of talking common sense.
There is no guarantee I'm dead, or even shot.Please answer my question - how do you shoot this guy when you're dead?
You'll be listening to yourself so intently, you won't notice the guy coming in.There is no guarantee I'm dead, or even shot.
A gun, of course ... but why does that guy have one in the first place if he's crazy?
If there were more stringent controls on guns, they'd be less available for theft. Plus, if the penalties were stronger ...Because it's easier for the crazy guy to get a gun illegally than it is for the sane guy to get one legally.
If there were more stringent controls on guns, they'd be less available for theft. Plus, if the penalties were stronger ...
1) we have too many people in jail for drug offenses; 2) build more jails.What type of penalties? Jails and Prisons are already overcrowded...
