What happen when the good guy has a guy?

Why I started this thread was that some Americans including the presidential nominee for the republican claims that we in Europe also need guns to stop mass shotings. So it intersting that even with all the guns in USA and all those people that use them for protection a good guy with a gun stop the shooter in only a very few cases.

I also the right to carry gun is a part of your constitution and one reason is the protection against oppressive government. I can understand the history behind that and also that both American democracy and constitution have a long history. Still the right to bear arm didn't stop segragation and denying african americans to vote for almost hundred year. It didn't either stop the internment of american citizen with japanese descent during WW2. Also for example the black panther movement tried to arm themself but it only lead to that the movement became more extreme and violent that at the same both the goverment and the mayority turned against them even more.

1P) Do you understand why? Because when a good guy has a gun...mass shootings infrequently occur. The bad guy gets shot before he can start the "mass shootings." Texas a man just tried to start a mass shooting. He was shot at by a concealed carrier who caused the man to take cover. Bad guy killed by police. The story frequently plays out like that.

But how often do you see our public being terrorized? Mass shootings are very uncommon here. And the higher numbers that you MIGHT see...are usually because of multiple shooters in gang/criminal activity. Not the classic "mentally unstable person."

2P) The Failures you listed all involved deprivation of arms and rights of citizens. The right to bear arms was something that was deprived. So of course it didn't help. But with the black panthers? They radicalized themselves. They were right to carry arms. They had to be taken seriously as a result. Imagine if the gays has done that? I wonder how many years ago marriage would have been extended? Ya know?

The thing is: the right to bear arms isn't about fighting government alone. They aren't the only tyrants. I can't remember which founder listed the criminals amongst them. But I can tell you that I would much rather be armed and dealing with criminals than unarmed.

Because everything listed on there is already a crime. Committed by criminals. They're not millions of these crimes ergo it is not the gun the cause of the problem. It is the criminal.

Who finds crime so much easier to commit successfully given access to a gun as the graphic clearly illustrates

Demographics now eh :roll:

Any excuse to ignore the elephant in the room

The elephant in the room is the massive stupidity of people that have no dog in the fight, and don't know what's going on.

Can you charge a gun with murder?
