Three things which should always be remembered when discussing the "gun issue". The most convenient, efficient quickest way to stop someone from attempting to kill you or cause serious bodily harm is with a sidearm. We're never going to prevent unknowns from (the least) trying to kill a would be target. Guns enable even the dumbest persons to kill more people more quickly than knives and clubs. The "authorities" and law makers should always keep these three things in mind.
I'd have to disagree, the safest and quickest way to take down a heavily armed opponent is, to hit them in the Triangle, before they even see you......... Or- stuff a grenade down their fkng throats, ..... From what I see here in dark L.A., is a true threat to all Caucasian's, incited by hate driven Blacks here, who have had the flames of their decades of racial hatred, stoked by asshole racists like Farrakan(sp? or who gives a fk), Sharpton and Jackson, even Obumanation....... This Nation IMO, and while working for the D.O.D. even NASA, used to take its Security for granted, before 911. I've seen to many pre-911 AC Plants, poorly prepared to stop a threat at the gates. Even TSAR black hole OPS AC, once were too lightly defended IMO. Today, black hole OPS programs, Post 911, have 4 times the entrance guards, and fortified gates, and Guards armed with AR-15s, or M-16s, as well as: double aught buck shotguns, camera's and series of hardened steel and concrete gates, which stop a threat long before they can get near these programs of Defensive measures....there was a day however, when even a Space Shuttle was only guarded by men with wimpy shotguns, and 9mm handguns only......that all changed overnight, after 911..... Today as one approaches the South Gate of Edwards AFB, out in the Desert quit alone or so it seems. There sits but a small guard shack, which used to have 4 GI's for Security armed with M-16s. Now after 911, what looks like a small Guard Shack, serves as an entrance to a shallow underground bunker with over a dozen or more GI's heavily armed, including our latest version of bazookas, and a Jeep with a "Rat Patrol" style, dual barrel .50 caliber machine gun, that can cut a truck in half........ NTM- the newest toy for Xmas, that the public can't obtain, tho it is on my Xmas list...........I want it......!!! -
