Sure. 30 thousand people a year is data. The 26 are just a point.
I know they recommend that if you fall off a horse you should get back on him, but I don’t recall the treatment for PTSD included taking the sufferers out shooting. In fact, I seem to recall that back in the Seventies folks would try to keep those guys away from guns. It being, y’know, sensible.
Is this a part of the belief that more guns fix everything? And is that based on, “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail?” 'Cuz they need a larger took kit.
A good effort my friend. But let’s not get silly here.
The sniper who was shot was clearly well trained with weapons. But this was just as clearly not enough. We have to ask ourselves “why?”. Well, when shooting at a range, there is a time when you have expended all the ammunition in your particular weapon, be that 5, 10 or 30 shots. It is at this time you are most vulnerable. And the folks who know your vulnerability best are your fellow shooters who are (you know they are!) counting your shots. How many does he have left before he’s out?
The solution is clear. All gun ranges should have trained armed guards, standing well behind the customers. They will never be out of ammo. They can keep a sharp eye on the folks to the left and to the right of you, and make sure that they do not get out of line and kill you. Any move by them to swing a weapon your way and fire? BLAM! Down they go.
More guns. Armed guards. Really, the solutions is so simple, I don’t see why it are not implemented immediately.
This is entirely sensible. While it is sad this man died, I think all future school, theater, grocery store and random restaurant shooters should commit their future crimes at the gun range. It would be much more challenging and keep all the gun afficianodos all together in one place making the rest of us safer!
I think that, because Kyle was a sniper, he never expected a shot from less than a kilometer away to do him in. I mean, if you can’t trust a guy you barely knew but whom you knew had serious mental problems to not shoot you, who can you trust?
There exists the possibility that Kyle wasn’t actually a licensed trauma therapist.
“Just back from 'Nam? C’mon man, come with me tonight to the fireworks show in the swamp.”
Likelihood, is what I think you are saying, but he and his foundation were dedicated to helping emotionally wounded veterans. Treatment is not a job for amateurs, no matter how good-hearted.
Oh, Jesus, I would hear news stories about guys who reacted poorly to Asian ladies in black pants suits because they looked too much like the VC, then see MORE Asian ladies in black pants suits at the mall. I could only think, “Sometimes it’s best to not be stylish.”
Here’s one of the ‘dog shoots man’ stories.
Very stupid to have a loaded gun in the car.
I think we can all agree that this tragic situation could have been avoided by the simple solution of having more guns.
Well, yes. If the dog had to dig through a pile of unloaded guns to get to the loaded one, this tragedy would have been prevented.
Again, so close…
This poor man had only one gun in his vehicle. This was likely due to the gun-grabbers in his area that have made it so very, very difficult to obtain firearms. If only he had several guns, do you think he would have left them on a pile on the car seat? No, he would have had a proper gun rack installed in his vehicle, preventing this unfortunate, unforseeable accident.
You see? It is all the fault of the gun-grabbers. They are just like Hitler.
The guy was a moron, having a loaded gun in the car, a poster child for You Guys.

Wayne LaPierre says the power outage at the #SuperBowl was caused by “violent video games.”
I would like to take a moment to extend my condolences to the entire gay community for today’s Super Bowl outcome.
Oh come on, no link?
This is a Sporting Event, right?
I’m not into watching grown men play children’s games.
He should have just kept his gun with the muzzle pointing in a safe direction, and certainly had his safety on.

That’s all I’m doing too. Just making a point.
