@MasterLee People shooting off guns on a crowded train? Real life is not like an action movie. In high stress situations people frequently miss their target. Next thing you know they've bagged two grandmothers and three school kids.

The problem is the easy availability of handguns
. The solution is effective gun control laws, with a federal gun license required to own a handgun. And a required gun safety training class to get the license.

@badminton how many waivers will be granted
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@badminton no we wouldn't let you near a gun. You think like Alec Baldwin.

@badminton So let the criminal blow away as many people as he feels fit because trying to stop him might hurt somebody?... how have you possibly made it this far in life with your ignorance?

@MasterLee I am not against gun ownership. Somerimes guns are necessary. I just recognize that guns are very dangerous in the wrong hands. That's why we need screening laws to prevent dangerous, unfit people from having access to guns.

WITH FREEDOMS COMES RESPONSIBILITY.

@badminton we have that

@strongbow I'm adult enough to know movies are not reality. Some people day dream about being Bruce Willis and shooting all the bad guys and impress all the ladies.

Do you really think an untrained person faced with an actual shooting situation on a crowded commuter train is going to easily take out the shooter with one shot?

@badminton don't know any untrained gun carriers as you describe

@badmintonJFC, Did my comment not even register in your empty head?
