So let me get this straight… You’re throwing the “if” card out there saying nothing would’ve changed had someone in the crowd had a gun… Then go on to say that “if” anybody brings up an argument about armed citizens preventing this…

When in the CO thread, you’re all “anti-if” when it comes to people making assumptions…

You can’t say a speeding car is anything like a bullet. While both speeding like an a-hole and shooting in public (in any direction) will end up with someone in jail, the media and antis will twist one of those things to show why people shouldn’t have something.

To be straight, here’s where I stand on gun laws:
Licenses to OWN handguns = bullshit
Licenses to CARRY handguns = understandable, though 6+ months of waiting is BS.
“Assault” weapon bans = bullshit
Mag capacity bans = bullshit
Legitimate assault weapon bans = whatever, not for or against it. Should be similar to getting a concealed carry permit for handguns.
Suppressor bans = bullshit.
Short barreled rifle bans = bullshit
Background checks = 100% for. It prevents legal guns from getting into a felon’s hands to a point. They will not, however, prevent a criminal from getting a gun.

As Vlad said, gun laws are usually pointless.

I agree with everything said here.

This feels like a continuation of the Colorado theater thread…this thread was posted just for the sake of continuing a disagreement.
