Elementary school shooting. ~28 dead, 20 children, 6-7 teachers, 1 shooter

[Aces]

That's nowhere near as severe as this. You're comparing a mass school shooting to a hit and run accident?

Where's the logic in that?

It involves kids and death, so therefore it must be relevant.

i'm not saying they wouldn't have tried if they had guns, they might've.
i'm just saying the probability of them succeding is slim. besides, it's guaranteed if you pull out a gun you're dead, and there's a slightly better chance of survival in a person's eyes if they don't. the principal has a few children, the other staff members probably did too. tell me they didn't have anything to lose.

It's not because the guy was probably super distracted.

tell me they didn't have anything to lose.

whether they did or not, they choose to do nothing. you dont even need a weapon to stop 1 guy, when you have 6 people around...

the survivors from the office already explained how it went down. they all sat there, likely with a thumb up their ass.
if anything i would say those adults all deserved to die. in fact, yes i do. not for being stupid and letting themselves die when they could have tried something, but for allowing the gunman to go further and kill 20 kids.

Lol, you can't take paintballs to the chest? what are you, a loving pidgeon?

What are you, dense? I was comparing the type of force asserted by a paintball to the force asserted by a bullet hitting someone with no entry. They hit both relatively hard.

this wouldnt have happened if gun laws werent so strict.
more guns in the hands of everyone = less gun violence

yet hippies will use this as another example of how guns are bad.

Aye!  Moforgetin' hippies needa learn there stuff and understand "Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people!"
BEOTCHZ GONA HATE!
AYEEEE!

Because giving people more guns is obviously the solution to everything...
Like, Africa and stuff totally isn't a good example of how giving people (more) guns is a bad thing to do.
I slightly get what you are saying Bisjac, but fighting (gun)fire with (gun)fire is not always the best solution.

So if i get it right, in your opinion, everyone should like be having a gun in case someone went batstuff with a gun (maybe the one he had to have?)?
Where does it stop?
"But officer, i really saw him pulling out HIS gun, so i had to shoot him."

I really can't see how your idea of solving this kind of problems is the best idea.
But i can sort of see what you are getting at.
I just don't approve of that i guess.

If that's the kind of comparison we're doing let's compair a paper cut on my thumb to being stabbed through the eye socket with a machete.

well, if there was an armed psychopath  outside shooting people, I bet alot of people would of done that. But you're right as they forgot there responsibilitys to the children and only cared about themselves.

You know he's being sarcastic, right?

having a gun dosnt make you a murderer. and the real murderers dont need to follow laws to have and use a gun.

so your entire logic is wrong.

I think, until you are in the heat of the moment, you will never realize the thoughts, emotions, and tenseness of the situation. People can freeze up because the stuff happens so fast. Its not like he strolled in casually and said, "Hey kids, y'all gonna die today!" then pull out a gun and start shooting people. Pretty sure he just busts in and started loving people up. Between the mix of gunfire and your own safety, you can't think straight.

hey guys we should ban guns so people don't shoot people to death with a bow in a university

A paintball hits someone and instead of stinging, it is painful because of force.

But they don't hurt.
