    You know it's really interesting what you took from this. It sounds as if this guy got a text from a family member and rushed to the mall with his gun to help. You took from that, a gun enabled him to help people escape a massacre. What you didn't take from that was that people with access to guns murdered 60 people at the mall. So it's interesting how you like to look at it. You see, the gun doesn't prevent massacres it enables massacres and the return fire during a massacre.

    That was the second article, not the one initially commented on.

    What I took from this this thread is that terrorists are still terrorizing people of different beliefs regardless of your snarky comments and feelings on gun control. What you took from this appears to be an opportunity to snipe (no pun intended) at supporters of gun ownership.

    If you're ever in the middle of a nightmare like the Nairobi mall massacre I hope, in the absence of police or military authority, a responsible gun owner is there to save your life or provide you some assistance. I sincerely hope that's never something you never have to encounter.

    yeah, because if Kenya instituted gun restrictions, then the terrorists would never be able to get their hands on them. :rolleyes:

    you need to take a step back and really think about your positions -- pressure test them with some common sense.

    Hell, our own government has contributes to the flow of weapons that ultimately end up in the hands of who knows. Gun-walking, arming rebels, etc.

    Let's send untrackable heavy weapons and ammunition across the globe, but let's have a ban on guns stateside. :confused: We're supposed to be a country that believes in arming rebels against a government, but doesn't believe in responsible gun ownership?

    No, what you should take is that you don't understand that guns don't prevent gun violence whether it's Nairobi or ****ing Cleveland.

    Do you ever wonder why there is no violence in the United States with automatic weapons? Why don't you riddle me that one.

    I understand guns don't prevent gun violence. I'm not sure why you're making this argument, but have at it. Guns can and have saved lives and prevented further violence from occurring in situations similar to Nairobi mall.

    Do you ever wonder why the US government arms strangers across the globe with automatic or other heavy weapons with no regard for the fate of those weapons? It's amazing these most assuredly friendly strangers aren't able to get by with a Joe Biden signature shotgun.

    No gun can save your life if I want to kill you. Your prevents further violence is a meaningless illusion. You're trying to prevent 65 people from getting killed instead of 60 and I'm working on the 60.

    Yeah, maybe if Reagan hadn't armed the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan then Al-Qaeda wouldn't exist. Do you ever wonder how many weapons are floating around Iraq and out of Iraq because of our actions? I certainly wonder about that.

    I ask again, why are there no crimes in the US with automatic weapons?

    Heroes with guns save lives every single day. Often from indoctrinated psycho Moslems.
    There has been plenty of violence with fully automatic weapons in the United States. So, as per usual, your premise and facts are completely wrong.


    Good luck on your anti gun agenda though. I'm sure your gonna do real well.

    Point flew right over your head, not surprisingly. You stumbled right into my previous observation. You want to create heroes rather than prevent victims.


    List them. Educate me.

    Gilley fired his MP5 at Nida from 25 feet away. He told investigators he could not remember if Nida turned to face him or Powell, or if he made any movements towards them.

    Yeah maybe you can give me stats instead of stupid videos. In a country where 10,000 people are murdered every year with guns you've given me five videos for the last 20 years. Not really meaningful of much.

    I almost forgot that videos, meme pictures, and slogans are mostly all you guys have to articulate anything anymore.

    Are they doing it in the name of Christianity?

    When the crazies from Westboro Baptist do what they do in the name of Christianity, do you blame Christianity, or do you blame the crazies from Westboro Church for their misusing (abusing) the teachings of Christ for their warped activities?

    I hope its the latter...

    You ask why there are NO crimes committed with automatic weapons in the US and when shown evidence to the contrary you change your question. Good stuff.

    Now, while you're all keyed up on automatic weapons the city of Chicago is under siege by gun violence. Over two dozen shot and five dead just this past weekend. During the same time Boko Haram (back on topic) decided to slaughter students with knives and machetes while these children slept in their beds.

    You asked for a list. You got one. You said none ever occurred, one occurred three months ago. All the others I listed are extremely significant events in history. You are not a very bright bloke, and you are intellectually lazy.

    To my knowledge there weren't any, then he gave me five examples over 20 years when 10,000 people are murdered with guns every year. There are more people killed last year with hammers than this guy's five examples.

    No, you've missed the entire point because you're a gun fan boy and you're being disengenuous. You gave me five examples over the course of 20 years.

    So, 5 incidents with automatic weapons and I dunno 200,000 people killed by other firearms in the same time frame.

    Give me the stats fan boy. Give me automatic weapon crime statistics. You can keep your stupid videos and pictures.

    How many were you expecting me to list exactly?

    You calling me disingenuous (and spelling it incorrectly) is classic.

    Also, there are six examples there. Learn to count.
