No Mass Killings in Gunshops

[Pointshoot]

A response to the irrationality of those who are clueless:

"Is it any wonder that you never hear about mass killings taking place in gunshops ? Why is that ?"

You can mix it up and use other obvious places like police stations, too. Places with lots of guns and lots of armed people.

I read a story once of a robber that wanted to rob a jewelry store but accidently walked into the gunshop next door, brandishing a handgun. He was carried out with multiple gunshot wounds and was the only casualty

snubbyfan - that would be a great story to post if its verified and out on the web somewhere

I know first hand of two gunshops that were robbed. It didnt work out well for the robbers. About 40 years ago I walked in a gunshop in pasadena california and the owner showed me the bloodstains on the floor from the prior day when a guy came in to rob him!

In Switzerland, young men between the ages of 20 and 30 are issued Sig550 assault rifles, trained in their use and are expected to undergo Militia training. After training the rifles are converted to semi-auto and the young men are allowed to retain posession. Switzerland has the lowest rate of gun related crimes in the world.

Only one thing comes to mind through all of this...

There is a way to heal the land.

I don't think they have many problems with airplane hijackings or school shootins in Israel either - - - - citizens are armed.

Noted bank robber Willie Sutton was once asked why he robbed banks. He said, "Because that's where the money is." The PC Wizards" in an attempt to make us all feel better and safer established "Gun Free Zones." Let me see now, if there was a location where someone wanted to go to create havoc and panic, and terror with a gun where would he go? Would that be a shooting range, a gun shop, a cop bar, a police station........ or an established gun free zone? The Colorado shooter passed up three movie theaters until he found one that was gun free. Where have most of these atrocities taken place? It seems to be where the shooter has little chance of return fire. If we're not going to look at the mental illness aspect of this situation and deal with it, at least we need to allow folks a decent chance at self protection and survival.

People are starting to post on YouTube and Facebook government cover-ups about this. Apparently there's a part in the new Batman movie where a shooting happens and the place is called "Sandy Hook", and they are saying there's 2-3 shooters involved now. I've yet to read it but some idiots made a YouTube video about it with footage and police LEO recordings.

I think all of this is complete bullcrap, but whatever. All I know is no one is taking my guns without a fight.

In Northeastern NC, there was an old convenience store/gas station that for years had a sign out front "We don't call 911" Well guess the guy that walked in to rob him couldn't read. The guy didn't "walk" out. As I remember, no charges were filed.

Hey...what can you say??
