Was at the grocery store yesterday and was talking to the gal that works the gun counter. she said sales have picked up from a 5 gun a day average to 25+ since the news out of Newton. They are getting lots of calls asking if they have any AR's

Was reading online that the FBI/NICS phone line is giving the all lines are busy response, and gun sales are up every where.

Also read where Dick Sporting Goods has pulled all thre AR's from the shelves, due to the Newton massacre.

Makes sense.

Airline ticket sales tick up after hijackings.

Hang on... There's a gun counter in the grocery store? We can't even buy booze in NJ grocery stores.

Who knows.
Not afraid of getting killed. Afraid of getting caught.

Your lumping violent criminals in with murderous, suicidal psychopaths. This kid's design was shock and outrage and horror attached to his own death. Guys robbing a bank want to get away.

Was just now browsing around the fire arms forum I use to get a lot of the drivel I post here.

There is a serious rush on all things guns going on, in particular Hi Cap Magazines and Ammo, throughout the NW and even the online stores are running out of stock.

Ironic.

Goes to show you how the public feels about guns. I think most people will publicly advocate more bans and regulations but I think that is b.c they want to be politically correct.

Americans want guns. And in spite of what the media wants you to think, it is not just Republicans.

You're making my point, not sure why you're rolling your eyes. We're not talking about bank robbers, we're talking about mass murders. Why aren't you getting this?

I like the logic more big government means we need more fire power to protect us from the tyrany of more big government.
Thanks for enlightening me...I had no idea the government was gunning down mall shoppers, movies goers and first graders. I like the logic of not giving an answer to a simple question and passing it off as an answer. Once again what is your suggestion to make the schools safer? Smarmy quips about the tyrannical government isn't exactly a suggestion.

I didn't make your point.

You're talking out of both sides if your mouth.

People robbing a bank are afraid to get caught.

Mass murderers are afraid to get caught.

Right?

Ok. But this kid wanted to die, not get shot and possibly survive. When armed confrontation was imminent, he shot himself in the head. No chance of getting shot by a cop, incapacitated, and surviving.

You and I aren't on the same page or I'm not explaining myself right. It happens. It's cool.

So. If he didnt want to get shot and survive, how would having armed people at the school stop him?

If surviving was his greatest fear, would having someone armed with non lethal weapons be a greater deterrent?
