[BelemNole]

Man was brandishing a gun in Canyon Village is am. Rangers showed up and gunfire broke out. Man killed and ranger wounded.

Great that guns are allowed in the park now, I feel much safer.

People taking the TV show a bit too seriously, I see.............

4.5m people visited Yellowstone last year.

You get worked up about ONE gun incident?

I’ll look forward to your upcoming weekly posts regarding weekly shootings in urban areas.

Only weak little bitches bring guns to parks.

But, what if a tree attacks me?

Yes those gun laws that are so affective everywhere. Been to numerous NPs many times over. Never was stopped for a gun. Maybe do a stop and frisk thing you libs hate on the millions that visit every year. That should do it.

Where should people bring guns though? Is there anywhere? I don't own any working guns. I'm not into them. You obviously aren't either. But, with each mass shooting, your first thought is to call for more gun control. Is that fair to say? What if you were at a mass shooting event? Or someone you loved? Would you hope that someone, legally carrying, could potentially save lives? Is it possible that guns could be good under some circumstances? Are guns ever ok, Belem?

Pew pew pew. Thin the herd.

Are you asking if I’d want a gun at a mass shooting? Lol no. Out of the thousands of mass shooting how many were stopped by a civilian with a gun?
All semi-autos should be banned and confiscated if anyone actually cared. But grown men care more about their cool toys then their children in America.

Yep...you're hypothetical worked so well in Uvalde.

You realize that will never happen, right? Why not arm yourself?

I'll agree with you on that.

 

[BelemNole]

Because I’m not a pussy or a hypocrite.
Demographics show that the voting block that keeps us on our course of stupidity is ahifting. It’s why the right has stopped carrying about democracy any only cares about winning.

The vast majority of gun owners would be useless in an active shooter situation. Unless properly trained and mentally ready to take human life a gun is worthless. You are far better off being alert to your surroundings and always being ready to take cover or evade a shooter.

Main reason I don’t carry is accidents and mistakes happen.

OK. Answer one question for me: Is there anything wrong with a law-abiding person carrying a concealed gun in a public setting?

Sure, it’s pointless and makes everyone else less safe, but selfish people will never understand.

Do you have stats on that?

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

So, the same mass shooters that you worry and post about are free to do whatever they want without anyone possibly intervening? Is that what you're saying? Just wait for the cops. Whom you also dislike. Just get rid of all guns is your solution. Which won't ever happen.

I see, you’re under the delusion that you’re the guy who will defy statistics and actually stop a shooting. Well, as long as we’re dealing in fantasy I’m saying get rid of all the guns and I don’t have to worry about your hypothetical.

 

[lucas80]

You got any showing the massive effectiveness of citizens using guns to defend themselves? I recall one debunked study that the right keeps pushing as fact.
Would you be useful in a mass shooting defending yourself? Name off the posters here you’d feel confident in defending others. There are a couple of cops and ex military here who’d be useful. HORT reflects society.

Great. I wouldn't care. It won't ever happen though. So, where do we go from that?

Good post. What I can say is that I've been in many settings with a large amount of people. And, I've thought sometimes about what would happen if somebody walked in and opened fire. What would I do? Have you ever had that thought in a crowd of people?

Well, I support people who continue to work to make things better and you don’t care because you’re good.

I don't think 50% of those here that have a weapons permit would have the nuts to act correctly if they had to.

And I would t trust the 50% that does.

Well, we compare notes if you like...? I donate a lot of money for local causes. And larger charities. What do you want me to say?

Tell me about your black friends now.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Tell me about your black friends now.

Why would it matter?

 

[BelemNole]

Why would it matter?

Right? You spent all day telling me none of it matters because I’m a middle aged white guy so I shouldn’t give a shit. But now you want to convince me you’re some sort of philanthropist. Give me a break.

Yes. And, in a nod to your handle, I’ve had it many times at Kinnick. Any major stadium is a kill zone waiting to happen, or more likely, 2-3 gunmen could do incredible destruction 30 minutes before kickoff.

You don't think there's bears and other wildlife to be concerned about?

 

[Hawki97]

Tell me you’ve never run into a bear (or moose, or whatever) without telling me you’ve never run into a bear. Lulz. It’s hilarious how gun people think the gun is the solution to everything.

 

[MitchLL]

Too much of a chance that someone panics. 99.9% of gun owners probably would shit their pants when confronted with a situation.

I’ve been in Yellowstone dozens of times and other parks as well including the back country. I’ve never felt the need to carry a firearm.
