I think enough concessions have been made. What's next... binary triggers? You think they are done going after ammunition sales and manufacturing?
Not One More Inch....
Well as I said before bump devices are an Abomination and I think we
should give those away because to me they are not safe or sane; and
in return we should get fully automatic machine guns licensed for private use.
Put three well-equipped guys up on top of the stage rigging, and THEN see who starts shooting out of a motel window.
The problem is not that people have deadly weapons but that we have created situations where they are totally unafraid to use them.
The key here is we need to make them afraid to use those weapons, because you just can't take them all away. There are already too many, you can't get them all back, and even if you do there are thousands of guys like me who can make weapons from scratch!
I think it's time that Mass events need to have Mass security. If you hold one, you need to have a security plan that makes sense for the attendees. Part of that plan is making sure that mass murderers don't feel comfortable about the prospects of their success.
People claim that the Nevada gunman did a lot of planning for his "event." I'm sure the promoters did a lot of planning too but how much security planning was done?
From my estimation almost zero. They were probably checking people for tickets alcohol and maybe guns at the gate.
Of course you're not going to have a mass murder committed by someone who smuggles a gun into a concert. They're going to have a limited amount amount of ammunition, and they're going to be so closely surrounded by the crowd that they're going to get grabbed immediately.
Nor will people carrying handguns be able to shoot somebody out of a 30th floor hotel room. At least not easily. That's a hundred yards up. That probably wouldn't have saved anybody without a great deal of luck.
But at the very least we could put some sharp boys equipped with Browning's and good night gear up in a Crow's Nest somewhere where they'd have a good chance of situation control.
