'No Way To Prevent This,' says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

But we have the best BBQ in Overland Park & Wichita in the US!  And you can feel safe eating it in our restaurants, knowing that most patrons are armed citizens with high capacity firearms.  And lots of bullets.
But you wouldn’t know that feeling, living in a $hithole city full of crime, with police resigning and jumping ship.

Yeah, I don’t/won’t live like that, but you have fun being scared.

So you feel better getting killed? Sounds very much like lib logic.

Fear has nothing to do with carrying a gun. That's where all of you libs have trouble. Its being prepared for something that may never happen but then again....it may. Its like you saying you don't want to live in fear so you will not use smoke alarms in your home. Most people never need one but some will be saved due to owning one.

So you have a choice.
*Never go out
*Depend on a cop to be there
*Depend on a good guy with a gun to save you
*Depend on luck...

What’s up with the tiny peen posts?  It seems to be a recurring subject from Carey (Nola), Stolen Genrator, and several of Carey’s troll post. Really ****_g weird and childish.  This is not normal.  Perhaps @The_Buffalo needs to look at this, as it doesn’t have any place in an “adult” bbq forum.

100% guarantee that all my buddies (police/sheriffs dept/KS hi-way patrol) are packing when in plain clothes.  I built a lot of their long range tactical weapons, but most are packing Glocks or Sigs for concealed carry, with high capacity mags.  I carry a Sig w/2mags. Almost everyone here has a concealed carry permit, and carries. We all own many AR’s. And thousands of rounds of 5.56 ammo.  And multitudes of 30 round Magpul magazines.  

So our crime rates are very low in Kansas.  If you come here to commit a crime or harm someone, you usually leave in a body bag. End of story.

Peep where KS is re: crime rate... "our crime rates are very low" my arse.

 You, your buddies, and all that ordnance,  are not doing a good job at all. 

And, you're exactly the kind of hombre I'm worried about. Glad you're over there.

seems in maine we just mostly use guns to shoot the mooses and the deers.....and to protect our ice fishing holes

Saw that ME and NH were at the bottom of that list.  Pretty interesting.  

Growing up I just remember some story about some lady getting shot while she was hanging laundry in her back yard.  A hunter mistook her for a deer somehow.

The reason why we have so many wildmans and littlePEENs is because the far right media has been shoveling fear to their audience for decades.  The levels of unfounded and self prophesying fear many carry internally drives them nuts.  They're the same people who get conned by grifters, believe conspiracy theories, live in a bubble and who are sheeple who hypocritically call other people sheeple.

Gun nuts claim that making policy to create barriers to gun ownership will lead to less "good guys" having guns, while the "bad guys" will still have/be able to get guns, anyways.

So, if its made stupidly easy for anyone to obtain a gun (no licensing/registration/background checks, etc.), how many guns do you think "bad guys" will end up with?

Are we then heading towards public shootouts at venues, all the damn time?

The "good guy with a gun" thing is a slogan that was introduced by the NRA.  Sometimes I feel like folks fail to appreciate that the primary goal of the NRA is to... sell more guns.  As such they tend to construct nonsensical arguments that mostly point towards solutions where more guns being sold is always the answer, and anything that possibly results in fewer guns being sold must be opposed no matter how much sense it makes.  And so we get things like where even people who have well-documented mental illnesses are still allowed to buy guns.

We are in this strange place in the US where the culture has embraced something that is intrinsically harmful to the population.  The only way to keep that embrace going in light of all the obvious data is to come up with arguments that don't make much of any sense, at least not to anyone outside of the culture.

There are examples like this in other cultures.   One I've heard of is female genital mutilation (FGM).  There are cultures that believe all sorts of terrible things should be done to young women and their genitalia at various stages.  Most anyone who lives outside of those cultures recoils at the practice.  Why would anyone think that's an OK thing to do?  It's obvious that it's harming the population.  Well, if you ask the people inside the culture they will give you a long list of reasons, all of which probably make sense to them, but are in essence different versions of "good guys with guns".   

Many Americans are simply incapable of looking at this issue objectively.  

Those stickers are a **** to get off your truck.  Nobody wants to be wrong and have to replace a AR don’t tread on me sticker with a second salt life sticker.
