But the incident demonstrated, graphically, how half-assed the rationale for an armed society really is. [More]I see. One incident outweighs this.
Tell the truth, Dan Turner, you'd rather see all those people dead than armed.
We've put your anti-gun theory to the test, you enabling purveyor of cowardly snark. Or more accurately, every vicious sociopath counting on his victims being disarmed has.
Tried to post at the LA Times link, but there were too many "problems." Likely associated with the fact that ole Dan garnered a single star on the LA Times rating system. He's also getting flamed in comments - no one I saw supported his twisted premises. Here's what I attempted to post:
ReplyDeleteYeah, Dan. If patrons of the Aurora incident had been armed, they'd have all have all shot themselves in the backside. My guess is that there were competent people there who wish they'd been armed. If the venue wasn't posted as a gun-free zone, perhaps the outcome would have changed. Your whole premise is a non sequitur, based upon a straw-man fallacy. Great premises. Keep up the good work. You're helping the cause of liberty with your vapid rantings.
It's too bad that Turner couldn't have been in the theatre in Aurora to take a bullet for one of the victims he seems to believe was better off with no means of self defense.

During the period of the AWB, you could still buy an AR-15. Sure, it didn't have a bayonet lug or a collapsible stock or maybe some other cosmetic feature but you could still buy one. The absence of the bayonet lug does not reduce the lethality of the weapon in the least. Mr. Turner and not a few others seem to be touting the AWB as a surefire fix when it really wouldn't fix anything any better than it did the first time.
