So how safe to you feel walking into a strip mall with crazy looking fat old men with beards, dressed in camo, sunglasses, ammunition bandoleers and assault rifles at the ready, I would guess about as safe as those in the Pentagon feel who are calling for these gun enthusiasts to stand down.
The thing the NRA and all the gun enthusiasts get wrong is “THE DROP.” You can take most any instance, movie theaters, schools, restaurants, or you bedroom but let’s just take the most recent one in Lafayette, Louisiana as an example.
[Forget for a minute the guy with the gun in the movie theater who shot and killed the man in front of him for talking too loud.]
Rick Perry, the NRA, and gun enthusiasts says we need to take our guns into movie theaters to stop this kind of thing from happening. But you know, no matter if everyone had a gun in that theater, the result would have been the same, the guy had THE DROP on the people there, as have all mass shooters, and in three seconds this Republican activist shot 11 people before anyone with a gun could have stopped it.
And even with THE DROP aside, imagine half a dozen gun enthusiasts in a crowded movie theater shooting at a shooter from half a dozen directions.
Every gun murder and mass shooting is done by A GUN ENTHUSIAST.
And nothing will change, it is our exceptional violent nature.
