Same old stuff from the people with strong emotional feelings against the use of firearms. No matter what article I come across that has any mention of "guns serve no good purpose" they all say the same thing,
"I don't like guns, and neither should you!" I would love to see some of these anti-gun people say what they're saying now when they are at the mercy of street thugs and armed burglars, and they don't have a gun to defend themselves.

If they lived through it, it would cause them to become more vehement about guns. They would rather say that without guns there would have been no crime rather than a gun would help them in a crime if they had one. It is pure hate that makes people rationalize the irrational fear of an inanimate object. I have often wondered the same, would they not want the help of someone who is legally carrying when they are being violated somehow?

Wow, I guess you'd call him a real "anti-gunner".

I guess Lexington, Concord, Yorktown, etc. were bad too. Maybe he should move to England.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I really do not expect to get any response, but I’ll let you know if I do, they are supposed to contact the submitter before publishing a letter.

Guy in a truck doing drive by. Guy in the bell tower with a bolt action 30.06 hunting rifle. Never had previous issues. No warnings. In some rare event, easy access to certain types of firearms is a factor that assisted him / her and is an unfortunate conquience of a society with easy access to firearms. I doubt armed citizens would do much to change those situations. I don't think it provides the case for greater regulation, however I don't think it proves more guns is the solution. I'm not sure there is a solution for some of those events. It really has nothing to do with firearms. It is the conquences of living in a free society.

Here is one famous case...a man with a scope rifle killing people from a bell tower. CHARLES WHITMAN: THE TEXAS TOWER SNIPER - Crime Library on truTV.com In this case, armed citizens made a difference.

The most well know guy in a tower story I know of. Your stretching. Terrible example. They had to make their way up a staircase. By the time they got to him he had just about done as much damage as he could. LEO responded. Has absolutely nothing to do with armed citizen (non-leo) CC preventing much of anything. 14 (or was it 15) people dead and wounded 32 others. Yes the non-leo shooting back helped give the officer a good shot. But thats it. For the most part, he had done his damage. You are proving the anti-gun people's point about pro-gun.

Wrong again Thanis.
Man armed with an M1carbine helped police shoot the guy which ended the killing spree. Other shooters kept the guy pinned down.Citizen with rifles. When they started firing back at the shooter, it kept him from firing on others. Quote:
Besides,anti-gunners dont use points, or logic,or common sense. If they did, they wouldn't be anti-object...in this case, gun.
