you beat me to it. was just about to post this.
not saying it isn't messed up that the media isn't showing it but it doesn't prove some of the arguments for more guns. it was an off duty deputy, allowed to carry and trained.
one trained person with a gun is a good scenario. a lot of people think having regular people carrying in the theater would be good.
I don't think 5 people all standing up, untrained, drawing weapons is a good scenario.
i'm sure it can get chaotic and confusing.

That's a lot of assuming in one post. Who's to say there's 5 people. Who's to say they all such at shooting.
Anyone can assume anything about a hypothetical situation. Why even make a post about such bullshit?
I'm not going to say all, but many people who are going to carry are going to be just as capable as an officer. True, responsible gun owners take their "hobby" serious. In TN you have to take an 8 hour course in order to obtain a carrying license. Then, they are going to spend many hours at the range.
Seriously? Some of you guys need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and remove your tin foil hat. This happened two days after 20 kids were killed, and you want the media to stop covering that story to cover a scene where two people were wounded (one of which was the gunman)?

It has nothing to do with CT!! THE CRIME WAS STOPPED BY A WOMAN SECURITY GUARD "THAT WAS ARMED" :shrug:The Gov't WANTS our guns and and you got some dumbass New Yorkers who have their heads up their ass volunteering them cause some politicians told them too..:nonono:

Guy makes a very valid point... it was a COP, not an ordinary citizen carry a weapon. That incident would actually lend zero support to your "cause" and would most likely hurt it.. "see with off duty cops carrying their weapons, there's no need for the regular Joe to."
Guaranteed if there was more than one person with s gun there, there would have been more than one person shooting... Sooooo his post isn't bullshit, it's quite logical..
Hmmmmm. Sooooo, just one 8 hour course eh? It only takes one irresponsible gun owner, with that 8 hour class to ruin it for you..

Please explain to me what makes a police officer a super human compared to any other citizen with practice and gun training? A badge? WTF is up with you liberals making it sound like only an officer is able to stop a bad guy with a gun? They aren't super human, they are just like me! Any clear headed human that has been around guns and has a good amount of practice under his belt can take down a maniac with a gun in a situation like this. As we saw from the police station incident where a gun was taken from an officer they aren't as godly as you make them seem.
