[edit] Not again

[1] --Seth Peck (talk) 17:17, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I have to ask; every time this sort of thing comes up, there's almost an immediate uproar from the gun lobby that armed citizens could have prevented this. Yet, here's the thing, why do we always hear of stories where the police killed the shooter or they turned the gun on themselves? Where are all the stories of heroic action-civilians with their own Glocks blasting these people away? Scarlet A.pnggnosticModerator 17:29, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

The heroic civilian action usually is tackling the shooter while they reload. As far as I can remember, during Loughner's rampage, one "concealed-carrier" managed to draw, but couldn't shoot (either didn't see the shooter, or didn't have a clear shot, my memory is fuzzy), and almost got killed by another one or the police, who mistook him for the shooter.--ZooGuard (talk) 17:46, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
So what are the advantages of arming everyone in a fucking primary school again? Osaka Sun (talk) 17:49, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

imagine 20 8-year olds with Glocks. My local news said 27 dead including kids. What sort of adult shoots little kids, and wtf with two shooters ? Hamster (talk) 18:09, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
One report says the shooter was a school parent. What the fuck makes a parent go out and kill a bunch of kids? MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 18:22, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Conspiracy theories.

Betrix, what are you trying to say there that isn't already clearly stated in the previous (better-written) version? Theory of Practice "Now we stand outcast and starving 'mid the wonders we have made." 03:38, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

When it comes to edit wars, we usually defer to the established user, unless the new edit is substantially better. In this case it is not. Aboriginal Noise Oh, you want to hit people with garbage cans? 03:41, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
