I remember back in elementary school, me and some guys would play cops and robbers and the teacher would tell us good luck in catching the bad guys as we waved our imaginary guns around. Now these days when you play with something that isn't there at all, you get suspended for it. What are we doing? Is this all schools can provide after a mass shooting? Tell children less than ten years old not to have an imagination? Just wait. Eventually, we're gonna hear about a kid suspended over an imaginary lightsaber.

We used to play Solider...where we pretended to be WWII soldiers invading on D-Day. We pretended to kill Nazis. We threatened the use of and deployed our Atomic Bombs, as well.

These days, that would have landed us some prison time, apparently. Holy shit, am I in trouble for even posting that on a public forum?

Waits for: "If there where more guns and the teachers were armed, this wouldn't have happened".

Edit: May fav response in the responses.

"I am not a Bible thumper by any stretch of the imagination, but this is what happens when we take God out of our society because allowing people in our society to be Christian is so offensive. No one respects human life anymore and we see more and more of this happening as we become more and more detached as a society."

Just has to use a horrific incident as a springboard to push own personal belief of God. Assclown.

Yep.

Yeah, yeah, semantics.

So you'd rather be in a situation where bullets are flying than having your wallet, watch, rings etc stolen? How odd.

Fair enough. Do you really think more armed citizens and more relaxed gun laws nation wide is the answer to what happened in Connecticut?

The elderly vigilante was inches away from creating a closed circuit snuff film. That lady was probably deaf in one ear for the next few days. As for the crooks, them being scared off isn't a testament to the vigilante's shooting skills but a sign that they were crappy twobit crooks who weren't there to kill people.

If anything the video is a shining example of why gun toting upright citizens are more trouble than they're worth. If those criminals were gangbangers or hitmen or rampaging psychopaths or anyone who isn't afraid of a retiree with a snubnosed pistol (i.e. the perpetrators of most mass shootings), that scene would have ended in tragedy for everyone involved.

Does this change your minds a little?

Not really. I still stand by everything I said about the old man. A completely different case doesn't change anything.

No, they are not completely different cases but they aren't exactly the same, either.

But I think this idea of yours should have lost such a strong stance:

Basically, it seems as though my thoughts were more accurate than I originally assumed. My thoughts being that a person with a Conceal and Carry license is someone you want to have around in those situations.
