    Could you also imagine swat/police responding to an active shooter call & then seeing a “good guy with a gun” running around? Yeah, no thanks. Police k--- too many innocent people as is.

    It’s a really r-----ed argument and anyone who thinks they can stop an attack like this because they’re carrying a gun has watched too many movies or played too many games


    Let’s imagine just for fun:

    You’re at an outdoor music festival in Vegas with your trusty gun and you hear a volley of gunshots and people and see bodies dropping. After you’ve somehow spotted which exact floor and which window of which building he’s shooting from, you pull out your massive sniper rifle (because your pistol is useless here) and get a quick clean head shot and prevent further casualties



    You’re at an enclosed concert hall in Paris and out nowhere a group of people start firing AKs right behind you into the crowd. You immediately duck down dodging a few bullets then take aim (the slow motion effect in Max Payne would be rly helpful here) amongst the hudreds of people running around and quickly neutralise every terrorist




    You’re going for a casual stroll along the beachside in Nice when you hear some commotion and turn around to see a massive truck speeding towards you through pedestrians. You take out your gun with no time to spare and manage a headshot, bringing the truck to a halt



    You’re at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester when suddenly a massive nail bomb goes off and oh s--- you’re already blown to bits not much you can do there


    There is nothing you can do with a gun in these situations except make matters worse. The only time guns are useful for selfdefense is something like a home invasion. Even in real combat in war zones soldiers aren’t rushing around shooting everyone they’re sitting behind cover half the day calling in support. Pro gun zealots have literally no common sense let alone knowledge in combat


    The second amendment was written when America was a Wild West wasteland with ancient rifles and revolvers. Not a densley populated place with with automatic machine guns with unlimited amo lying around everywhere for everyone like today.

    Old laws should be suitably tweaked as we progress as a society. Think about it what other group of lovely people hold onto outdated rules and laws at the expense of innocent people?

    People who wonder why no one shot back outside don't understand it's dark, people are running chaotically, and the shooter was hiding himself in a room near the top of the hotel. unless someone was carrying a sniper rifle and nerves of steel, nothing could be done via.a civilian. Plus people thought their was.multiple shooters so there is that to pour on.

    Or imagine a real life John McClane strapped and firing away at James Holmes in a dark a--- movie theater. Imagine how many more people would have been hurt or killed by the "hero".

    You've never held a gun in your life or seen one irl so you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to guns.

    Uhhh this guy was on the 30 something floor shooting at people on the ground. People aren't going to just take their guns out and start shooting when no one could tell where he was at. You guys play way too much call of duty and watch too many hero movies I suppose thinking that way.

    It was obvious the shooter wasn't in the crowd. It took even police over an hour to locate the shooter. Watch another hero movie or something
