There will always be evil among us.
Depends on your definition of evil. You iterated in another thread that Rob Ford is a-okay with you, yet I think that he is thoroughly evil. I'll bet that he's behind the "unsolved" murder associated with his crack video. He's your type, though. Perhaps you too are evil, Walter?

Is that a "yes" vote, then Walter?

One thing is for sure. You are clearly not morally fit to judge what "evil" is whern you are clearly so attracted to it.

hehe "I am just like Rambo and I have a gun. I am dangerous, so don't mess with me. "
BANG BANG BRRRRRRAP
"What da fukk wazzat? Gunfire? I'm outta here".
Humans are an interesting species.
Same thing when Gaby Giffords was shot. There were armed men in the crowd. None of them cowboyed up and blasted the shooter. He was taken down by two unarmed men.

From what I've read, yes there were vets on scene with guns and they chose not to engage the shooter.

Because they didn't want to be taken for the original shooter.

Also, they didn't want to interfere with SWAT when they arrived.

Both reasons are logical and proof of why 'good guys with a gun' don't necessarily mean people are safe.

Plus, it's Alex Jones, leader of the Right Wing Tin Foil Hat Division, you can't take anything he says seriously.

I think everyone is a mixture of good and evil, albeit some may have the mixture in different proportions. I get the impression from Walter there is a little evil inherent in being "left wing". Actually I doubt if evil falls along political lines except to say they are ALL a bunch of lying, larcenous, lascivious bastards.

Just took a look at the map and the distance between the PD, the Sheriff's office and the college. That would take cops a while even with sirens and yelps going full blast and lights on. The armed people chose to wait for them rather than distract the jerk. Interesting.

Actually, I think it should be categorized as a problem of about 0.0000000000001% of Americans, the other 99+% are by and large decent citizens.

What are you on about this time, JLM? Do you really think mass shootings are only a problem for mass shooters?

It is not so much gun rights as civil rights and democracy. For some reason when it comes to guns the anti crowd are quite prepared to throw personal property and civil rights under the bus. SOme of the advocates of gun control are so far out there they want to ban all guns from the hands of law abiding citizens including for hunting and target shooting but can never explain how this is going to take guns out of the hands of criminals.Or government agencies.

It's funny that you quoted me saying that most people would ignore everything about the article except for gun control part and just quote gun rights cliches, and then you completely ignored what I said and just quoted gun rights cliches. I could not have asked for a more perfect example of my own point.

Just heard on the idiot box this morning the wisest statement I've heard in awhile.........."a gun is like a screwdriver, would you ban a screwdriver" and that came out of Douglas County in Oregon where the mass murders were committed!

That's the wisest statement you've heard in a while?

I was talking about the cause of the problems............remove them and you have no problems.

Up to that point in that day anyway. :) :) I get a little perturbed when people think that changing a law will change a criminal's actions. Criminals don't give a sh*t, they'll keep on killing regardless unless they are killed first of locked in a bunker.

That's the general idea.

Have you never heard of a law that changes a criminal's actions?
