You example is very courageous

several. and if i was in that theater, perhaps the body count would have been less.
21 Jul '12 01:24Originally posted by karoly aczeli've gone through extensive training and registration process. i don't think everyone would use it as wisely as i would, that's why i carry one with me at all times (except when entering places where it is prohibited to carry one).

edit: I mean, by the sound of your posts I would say "Yeah, let people like voidspirit have a gun" , but do you think everyone would use it as wisely as you?
"perhaps" just dont cut it now, does it😞
21 Jul '12 01:29Originally posted by VoidSpiritYeah well, I'm not in the US so I feel somewhat unqualified to comment properly.

perhaps is worse than certain but better than nothing.

"Perhaps is worse than certain but better than nothing"
I dont know man....
This issue is very disturbing and does not fit well with my vision of peace, but for now.... it may be the best thing we have.
21 Jul '12 01:56Originally posted by VoidSpiritI'm in australia. Yeah, I could get a gun if I wanted one but it would go against my nature.

is it impossible to attain illegal firearms in the UK?

the issue of owning firearms?
21 Jul '12 02:111 editOriginally posted by ChessPraxisThis was my first thought also when I heard about this.
If everyone carried a gun this wouldn't happen either.
21 Jul '12 02:291 editOriginally posted by karoly aczelit's not a question of courage or toughness (which often cause unnecessary violence). sometimes the presence of a firearm can deter violence.

I reckon i'm tough enough without one.
"The issue of owning firearms?"
Yes. Very disturbing.
I'm glad I dont live in the US and if I did I'd move to a peaceful state or a different country altogether. But then again running away from problems is not in my nature either.
It's a tough problem , no doubt.
How can we lead ourselves out of a world of violence into a world of peace while carrying firearms?
It's like the mob, they're all friendly but they never really trust each other.
Than again it may be altogether a different story again if I wasn't a lone parent. But I am, so my views reflect that.
BTW I teach my kid all about firearms, not because I want to but because he is seriously interested in them.
I have no problem with telling him what they are all about without obscuring the truth about them, (just in case you were wondering 🙂 )
