Thread Name: BS: Shooting tragedies and guns
Subject: RE: BS: Shooting tragedies and guns
When a female member of congress was shot at an outside event a few years ago, in the crowd was a young man who was armed, and was reaching for his gun.... before he could draw it, someone grabbed the shooter's arm and he was captured.
The young man said that he was mistaken about where HE thought the shot came from, and he was glad he hadn't shot the wrong person.
   In that Colorado movie theater a few years ago, can you imagine if 7-8 people had been armed and began shooting...maybe at each other in mistaken idea about their target?

   Good guys with guns can be more dangerous than bad ones.

Too many guns... too many disturbed and/or angry people... far too few solutions.
