(e) Call the cops, and hope he doesn't shoot me for using my cell phone.

Of course, Columbine had an armed guard.

Same reason the GA statehouse is just about the only gun-free zone in the whole fucking state: they're afraid of getting shot, and what Mehmeister said.

I thought it was "pew"

It's true. I have never been to a Chick-Fil-A without a gun.

I tried telling my boss a while back that while the NRA's propaganda says that they are against criminals having guns, their actions and advocacy show clearly that they are for criminals having guns. It did not compute with him. In the meantime, I'm pretty sure I remember reading a couple of stories that further proved the already indisputable.

I think freakishly was thinking about good guy guns. I believe there have been several cases where a shooter has been stopped by a good guy tackling the fucker, generally when he had to pause to reload.

"Why do these moms demand mass shootings?"

That's funny, admitting that guns actually <i>do</i> kill people, Daily Caller.

Why, it's almost like guntard "logic" is internally inconsistent, and not legitimate points, but instead simply short phrases best suited to be squalked out by trained parrots.

The gun nuts use that statistic to "prove" that gun-free zones are dangerous. They will insist, with a straight face, that if there had been a good guy with a gun in Aurora, the Batman shooting would've ended after the first shot. Because nothing could possibly go wrong in a dark movie theater, with everyone shooting randomly, and if the shooter had been hit, bullets would have magically stayed in his body, not going through and hitting anybody else.

Not strictly true. No live shooter has been stopped by <em>civilian</em> good guys with guns. Armed cops have stopped some, mostly just because their presence prompted the shooter to take his last victim - himself (yeah sure I'm assuming maleness, mostly because I can't even think of a female mass shooter right now).

That time it was a damn good thing the good guy with the gun chose not to use it, because he was --><-- this close to shooting the hero who'd wrestled the gun away from Loughner.

False Equivalence! I don't HAVE a Jackbox in my area. I think it's mostly a West coast thang.

Won't the fries and anus burgers kill their customers anyway?
