Now, isn't it wonderful that any maniac in the US can buy the gear to kill a large amount of people?
Even better, that people (you {should} know who you are) are willing to stop any attempt at preventing that carnage from happening in the first place?
Yeah, yeah, I know all the gun guys would have been able to have stopped the punk if they had been in that theatre--they would have been able to take clear shots through the haze of the CS gas.
Laci- As I stated in earlier comments. There is very little that could have prevented this strategy. Even a legally permitted gun owner with a .45 would have done very little.
ReplyDeleteSince we're on the subject though, I understand why the NRA tries to prevent certain laws from passing. I may not agree with some of them, but I understand them. But there is no one that can convince me that a citizen should have the right to purchase body armor.
It's a weird graphic. Everything on it but the knife is "could" or "many" or "estimated." It's as if they have no information on what he actually was wearing but instead are going from initial police reports. For example, the graphic disputes the police account of the boots.
ReplyDeleteWe know the exact name of the magazine carrier he wore. We know where he got it and how much he paid. Why don't we know more about the rest? Where are the details on this much-discussed ballistic armor? Did it have strike plates? What was it rated for?
Most importantly, where can I get mine?
This looks like rumor and speculation. Someone should fact-check it beyond a video clip, get names and dates and brands.
