Race bait for what? Just blunt honest observations about this forums overall behavior over ummm what???
7 years..here???
12 years..for the other member's observations???
Is it wrong that I initially though it would be one of my saltine brethren when I read "handgun" and saw the kill to injured ratio?

WTF? Importing Canadian shooters?
Nope, this is a conspiracy by our government.

I agree Jeff. Very scary when you own a gun for self-defense, can't carry it by law, you're in an airport with your wife and children, and all hell breaks loose. Those poor innocent victims. Very sad!
playing devil's advocate...
let's say you were able to carry. what stops the cops / others who are carrying from shooting you? they hear that there's a shooting and see you have a gun. it could set off a huge domino effect of people shooting each other, thinking each could be the active shooter. and what's to stop the active shooter playing from coy, saying they are innocent, trying to get out... then shooting you in the face?
i'm all for people defending themselves, but it's a slippery slope once confusion is added to the mix.
Simple. When a LEO enters the picture I comply. Based on nearly 100% of known cases, the perp will not comply.
That is a very real concern that people who carry should think abkyt. However, if someone is shooting AT me I'm better off shooting back and dealing with the response teams alive rather than riddled with bullet holes after the shooter moves on. Response times are painfully slow and chances are the shooting will be done by the time they arrive. There are plenty of active shooter situations where CCW holders fire back yet none of them are ongoing firefights by the time the police arrive.
Hopefully my babbling makes sense.
If it's so bad here and you dislike it why are you still here??
Shouldn't you just move on?
Now there's information that supposedly he walked into an FBI office in Alaska and said he was being forced to fight for ISIS - wonder if there is any truth in this?
Side note, and I feel terrible for having had this thought; but no less than 2 days ago when seeing shit about Dylan Roof, the thought crossed my mind that we haven't seen any kind of mass shooting in a while to get the gun control talks back on track. And then, BOOM here we go.

Too predicatable
would you also comply with a innocent person who is scared for their life, has a gun, and telling you to drop yours because they don't know if you're the active shooter? i'm glad you'll comply with law enforcement, though.. saves you from taking a bullet from them.
makes sense. the beauty of the concealed carriers right now is there isn't that many of them, so good guy with a gun sees bad guy with a gun easier. if more people are carrying, then confusion sets in as good guys with guns are harder to differentiate.
just to reiterate, i am all for people defending themselves. i just want to put the gravity of having a firearm in an active shooter situation into peoples' heads. it's not an fps out there where teamkill is off. you have a good chance of killing whoever you point the business end of the firearm at, they may be as innocent as you, and just as scared.
It was reported the shooter's gun was in checked baggage, which is allowed.
just guessing here but thats probably before he got to tsa. im pretty sure they'd find his gun on him. they found a damn coke can in my suitcase i forgot about. then proceeded to tear open every bag i had from top to bottom..
the shooter here at LAX, he started shooting when he got TO the tsa checkpoint as he knew he wouldnt be able to get through. metal detectors and luggage scanners. so he started shooting his way through.
and TSA are not armed. best they can do is tackle someone. maybe they have tasers? not sure. but definitely not armed. that's why there's usually an airport police officer somewhere nearby.
