I need to get a gun and practice because of two idiots a half continent away?
We don't know that the men who were killed didn't have guns, we only know that they didn't use them. Last time I checked there were lots of guns in Texas.
The media ALWAYS reports about guns, if they didn't mention it, most likely the victims didn't have them.
Carrying a gun stops bullets. Surely you know that by now, Boomerang.

It happens more often than you think. Some estimates say up to 2M crimes are prevented each year by the threat of lethal response.
Oh, I know! Carry a gun then, cjhsa. And I will decide for myself what I need and what I will do.
"Some estimates." That's a good 'un.
Where does it say that 2 million crimes would be prevented? Is this your only source?
I need to carry a gun so that I can shoot people for $2?
No worries, I'm not Christian.
survival of the fittest, no complaining.

Reading comprehension has never been a skill owned by the libtards of A2K.
Looking back with nostalgia to the great tv westerns (Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, The Rifleman, Maverick, Bonanza), I thought just about every adult male was then carrying a gun (outside of town in some towns - oops gun laws in the old West). The criterion as to who survived by virtue of having a firearm was based on who could draw his gun fastest.
Now that changes the whole argument of the present day gun proponents, I believe, since even having a gun serves little benefit, if one can't draw his gun as fast as Paladin (Richard Boone in Have Gun Will Travel) or Marshall Dillon (James Arness in Gunsmoke).
It really comes down to a wild west (Hollywood's version) scenario, if every law abiding adult started carrying a firearm. Something is wrong with this picture in the 21st century.
What is wrong is the image portrayed by Hollywood.
In real life it's never "High Noon".
Its better to HAVE a gun and not NEED it
than it is to NEED a gun and not HAVE it.

Personally, I liked Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Also, High Plains Drifter. Actually, all his western movies.

In my opinion, it is better to not have, nor need a gun, since no one has one, and there are police twirling a nightstick on the avenues, like it was 1950!

I have to agree with you regarding reading comprehension. what is a libtard?
