Gun nut delusions exposed

Gun nuts are all pretty much psychotics, in the definition that says a psychotic is someone who is not able to distinguish his fantasies from reality. Here we have a clear statement that exposes their key delusions.

One, which has been disproven so often that we can only conclude that anyone still shopping it is either a deliberate liar or crazy, is that killers aiming at a big score choose "gun-free zones."

However, the Umpqua school is not free of guns. How many persons on the campus were armed is hard to say, but the number was not zero and, according to the statement linked above, was considerable. They did not ride to the sound of the guns. They sheltered in place, just like wimpy unarmed liberals.

For good reason:
“Luckily we made the choice not to get involved,” he explained. “We were quite a distance away from the building where this was happening. And we could have opened ourselves up to be potential targets ourselves, and not knowing where SWAT was, their response time, they wouldn’t know who we were. And if we had our guns ready to shoot, they could think that we were bad guys.”
That is the very most optimistic view of it. Had they intervened, they'd just as likely have shot a student as a gunman, as happened in gun-happy Houston last week. Even more likely, they'd have lost the shootout with the already armed and prepped killer.

Three million Americans have been shot to death in the past century. The number who were criminals plugged by a conveniently placed gun nut is very small, and possibly (even probably) smaller than the number of innocents shot by mistake.

  1. [Anti-gun] nuts are all pretty much psychotics, in the definition that says a psychotic is someone who is not able to distinguish his fantasies from reality ...

    That's you.

    You have profound fantasies about what other's believe, and never allow reality to intrude. This guy made a prudent decision based on the circumstances. What evades your psychotically limited grasp is that his decision would have been entirely different had he been in the same room, or in close proximity.

    I seem to remember a disaster that wasn't in Ottawa a year ago, and an armed bystander stopping a murderous Palestinian day before yesterday.

    But I'm sure you won't allow the issue to get clouded with facts.

  2. And I remember the armed bystander in Houston who decided to stop a carjacking. He did, sort of. He shot the car owner in the head.

    Then there is this: http://wonkette.com/594880/good-toddlers-with-guns-protecting-america-from-tyranny-on-weekly-basis-now

    examples of which are much easier to find than examples of armed citizens defending anyone successfully.
