"The Austin Incident" - Doug Stanhope & Alex Jones
volumptuousI don't mind Stanhope so much. He's really not all that bright tho, and millions of miles away from the political minds of Hicks, Bruce or Carlin.
I guess my question is, is he like, down with the Alex Jones crap?

Cactus Removal from Fingers........Like a BOSS!!
volumptuousThis is a cholla cactus (aka jumping cactus) and they are mean motherfuckers.
My girlfriend got one larger than this stuck to her leg, then tried to rip it off but then it was stuck to her hand. She had over 60 of the needles in her. Three of us helped her and managed to just transfer who it was stuck to. Util the end I got some large pliers and ripped it off a friend and then burnt it with fire because fuck that thing.

Dude, you are quite wrong. There have been many killing sprees at police stations and military bases. Are you fucking kidding me? You don't remember THE FORT HOOD murders?
bloody hell
I think people are missing the point. Guns are a deterrent. If someone wants to go on a shooting spree, they're not going to do it in a place where they know everyone is armed. That's why we have shooting sprees at schools and businesses instead of police departments or gun shows or firing ranges or military bases. The whole point of a shooting spree is to feel empowered. When you're the only one with a gun, you're in charge. When everybody has a gun, you're no longer in charge. A shooting spree becomes less appealing if you know you'll only get in a few hits before you're taken down. Shooters want to go out on their own terms (hence the suicide at the end of most shooting sprees). Even if the civilians carrying weapons don't have a lot of training, the simple fact that they are all carrying weapons is enough to deter would-be shooters.
If you want to end shooting sprees, enact a law requiring everyone to carry guns. Banning guns only ensures that criminals have them.

volumptuousIt's actually not a hypothetical.
This exact same situation happend during the Gabby Giffords shooting. There were two people there with CCW, but they weren't sure was the shooter, so instead of just firing at anyone with a gun, none of the CCW holders fired at all.
That was an actual, real-life event. Sure, it's anecdotal, but who should we listen to; random VS users who don't have any life experience with this, or the people who do?
Hypothetical:
Lets say a few people started carrying weapons at schools and wherever.
Some random kid comes in and starts shooting.
One of the kids with concealed weapons manage to stay calm, get cover, and unholster their gun. He tries to get in a shot, and in doing so, another innocent kid with a gun sees him and mistakes him for another gunman as well. This kid then shoots the other kid. Repeat until everybody with guns are dead.
Why does everybody seem to know that they immediately can assess the situation well enough to not kill other innocent people that are also trying to save the situation?
It is a fantasy. It might occasionally come true, due to luck, circumstances or whatever, but that doesn't mean that should be the go-to method.
Guns should be used for hunting. Fully automatic weapons have nothing to do with hunting, and should be banned. Permit should require checkups at a shooting range.
Run. Hide. Call 911. Don't carry guns!
Sheesh.. Can't believe we're having this discussion..
