I really thought they would suggest a better solution atleast with regard to assault rifles </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-nra-press-conference#post-460343 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:30:10 +0000 MrsSCB 460343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of you might find this interesting -- I did! It basically lists a few examples that people often give for the whole "we should arm everyone!" idea and says why they aren't actually good examples.</p> <p>"Gun rights die-hards frequently credit the end of a rampage at the law school in 2002 to armed "students" who intervened. They conveniently ignore that those students also happened to be current and former law enforcement officers, and that the killer, according to police investigators, was out of ammunition by the time they got to him."</p> <p><a href="http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/armed-civilians-do-not-stop-mass-shootings" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/armed-civilians-do-not-stop-mass-shootings</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-nra-press-conference#post-460308 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:14:29 +0000 Freckles 460308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The NRA's response really angers me. Who's supposed to pay for these guards? Also, there is NOTHING to support that more guns mean less crime or preventing a violent act. <a href="http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/21/the-more-guns-argument/?ref=opinion" rel="nofollow">http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/21/the-more-guns-argument/?ref=opinion</a></p> <p>The NRA's "2nd amendment act" defense is just BS, as its actions only indicate that they care about supporting the gun industry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-nra-press-conference#post-460272 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:56:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 460272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: it's true! that's what I was thinking. placing 1 police officer is not the solution, they're putting more guns out there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-nra-press-conference#post-460264 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:52:39 +0000 hellobeeboston 460264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i watched it - crazy that the two protesters managed to get some good screen time!</p> <p>i don't think putting guns in schools, even though they're with police officers, is the solution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-nra-press-conference#post-460239 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:44:01 +0000 yoursilverlining 460239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah; arming the people whose unions you are in favor of busting (which would take away lots of those people's rights) is a brilliant idea. </p> <p>If only every single person carried a loaded weapon at all times there would be much less violence. Just like in the "wild, wild west". Oh, wait... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-nra-press-conference#post-460232 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:39:54 +0000 Mrsbells 460232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Very impractical</p> <p>@Bao: They basically blamed video games and said the solution is more guns in schools with armed guards</p> <p>Theres a tweet about it t hats kinda funny (not haha funny) by @Symbolman "NRA wants to create an early Warning system in schools. When you hear a blaze of gunfire that's the armed guard being killed, first.

What an impractical solution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-watch-the-nra-press-conference#post-460201 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:26:24 +0000 Mrsbells 460201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really disgusted by their speech. They really dont seem to get it or care at all. </p>
