Fact is.. Doove, this time a gun saved lives. Originally Posted by UB9IB6But in large part, only because the other guy didn't have a gun.
But in large part, only because the other guy didn't have a gun.All great and valid points.. However, this time a responsible confident owner produced a weapon and unquestionably saved lives. That can't be argued.
It's an argument that cuts both ways. You say that someone having a gun saved lives, but you could just as easily argue that someone not having a gun saved lives.
Further, the guy with the knife could have been stopped by a guy (or guys) without a gun. The odds against that occurring are greater if the guy with the knife had a gun instead. Originally Posted by Doove

And greater scrutiny in ones ability to purchase. Law abiding citizens should be able to defend themselves and have most any weapon they choose.
I'm an avid guns man and lifetime NRA member.
I am also for assault weapons restrictions .
Maybe it's a contradiction to some... But reasonable to me. Originally Posted by UB9IB6
