[The Prowler]

More gun control talks have already started.

@Judgenap: Why do we have a Second Amendment? It's not to shoot deer. It's to shoot at the government when it becomes tyrannical!

Hmmm, I wonder if he has changed his mind after that tweet from less than a year ago.

Hey dipshit, zero people died BECAUSE a good guy with a gun was there to return fire.

How many more died when bombs and cars were used as weapons in multiple attacks in England this month?

This argument is always idiotic, but infinitely more so in this example.

You're just trying to get me to Like your post. Not gonna happen. Nope. Not today.

I thought you were dead.

Hey shit for brains, no one is talking about England. All the bombs and cars don't change the fact that Sen. Rand Paul stated last year that the 2nd Amendment is for shooting at a tyrannical government.

James T. Hodgkinson committed a terrorist act, like I pointed out earlier.

And there are now more talks of gun control.

Yeah. Shooting at a tyrannical govt means showing up to a ball field and mowing people down. That's exactly why the 2nd amendment exists. You are lower than snake shit.

Of course they are talking about gun control. YOU and your loony side use tragedies every year to push your totalitarian agenda.

Just a damn moment. Don't you start picking on my gay buddy.

You care.

Only from the left. But nobody's listening to them any longer.

Welllll....it was a LEO.  Capitol Police.  Not Joe Sixpack with his open carry sidearm JohnMclaining his way onto the scene to save the day.

But that has happened. Many times.

You shut your dirty, whorish mouth about John McClain!  He was a POW!

[Snaggletiger]

Just a fly in the ointment, Hans.

I'm not aware of any gun control argument (that is taken seriously, anyway) that advocates disarming law enforcement.

WHIFF!

So?

I say that seriously. So?

He was only there because Scalise, a high ranking member of Congress, was there.

If no "good guy with a gun", whether they have a badge or not, was present, we'd be looking at about 20 murdered GOP Congressmen and I don't think it'd be hyperbolic to say we might be on the brink of Civil War right now.

Would it be any different if Rand Paul was packin? It certainly wouldn't be worse than if no one were.

Yes, it would be different.  LEO, and specifically Capitol Police, are trained in the use of their weapon as well as situational training.

Your average wannabe with a sidearm would just exacerbate the situation, likely causing more mayhem/casualty.

Bullshit. This argument is bullshit.

We've found a rare line where I'm vociferously disagreeing with you.

Most people who own firearms are not fucking Barney Fife. Most people are well trained on how to use their weapon. The notion that if one or more of those senators had a firearm on them then they would have just started shooting aimlessly in 360 degrees, killing/injuring more people than the shooter intended to is not only supported by zero evidence, it is completely preposterous.

That it "would just exacerbate the situation, likely causing more mayhem/casualty" as opposed to the complete absence of any firearms from the "good guys" is a Prowleresque braindead idiotic thing to say, frankly.

So salty.

We'll agree to disagree on this point.

[Snaggletiger]

If someone, police officer or not, is immediately firing back at him, he's certainly not going to get off 50-100 shots as has been reported.
