He had to shoot one that was trying to jump up to him while he was in his tree stand, using his sidearm. It took three shots at close range because he was scared.
    Fact is until gun owners start speaking out we will get nowhere. And they're not speaking out. They like the fact that they can get blown away with an AR-15 in public while they feel so safe with the cute little 9mm. They feel safe with that gun on their hip.

      How many people a year die from being shot with an ar-15? I thought you believed in science and facts?

          How many kids in elementary school go through active shooter drills?

          See, the fact is that is the important fact here.

            So gun owners are insane for carrying guns in case they get mugged, robbed, raped, whatever, but schools are perfectly rational for preparing for something that is even rarer? That makes a lot of sense. The active shooter drills in schools shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

              Should we cancel fire drills too?

                  There are approximately 5,000 school fires each year and very few school shootings so you do the math. https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Data-research-and-tools/Building-and-Life-Safety/Structure-fires-in-educational-properties

                      Since when have you ever done that? All you offer is your opinion as a "centrist". And opinions are just that, an opinion.

                        An estimated 4,000 school building fires were reported by United States fire departments each year and caused an estimated 75 injuries and $66.1 million in property loss. Fatalities resulting from school building fires were rare.
                        More dead from gunshots in Florida shooting by itself.

                        You just got owned. Care to try again?

                              So your opinion isn't based on facts or figures.

Myself and other gun owners would like to see some things changed, the problem is that once that happens Bloomberg and co will be pushing for more extreme measures until guns are effectively banned. Like a lot of other issues there are too many extremists and the country suffers.
                                No they won't. And since when does Bloomberg control what you do?
