2. Imagine if this loser had had access to a firearm.

A Brave Man who would not have been able to protect himself or those
around him due to the fact that the library was a gun free zone .
A 75 year old who has more balls than all the anti gunners combined
A truly brave man to run towards danger instead of away like most of the nanny state raised today.

Counter-point: Imagine if the Mr. Vernon (the veteran in question) had had access to a firearm. Could have saved his arm a serious lot of trouble.

Either way, kudos to the gentleman. Not many people are willing to put themselves in the way of a knife for other folk. We need more people with his mindset.

The "good guy with a gun" counterpoint is almost never valid, because it almost never happens. Some of the last few campus shootings happened at schools where guns could be carried on campus, yet that didn't help anyone.

Except when it is ............. and those who choose to believe that it couldn't happen to them rarely
live to see the next day due to their belief that it couldn't happen ........... But it did

While I agree this man has giant balls, I disagree with your assertion that "anti gunners" (as you call them) lack balls.

Please note I am not anti-gun. I do believe they are too easy to acquire. There's a difference.

When I refer to lacking balls I mean That they refuse to to take account of their own protection
and willfully cede their right to self preservation to someone else .
ie ; your sitting at a table and an armed person breaks in and means to kill you
So your choices are
1- die because you don't own a gun and are afraid to own one
2- die while calling 911 because you have no means of defending yourself against a gun
3- die because some one else decided you are not allowed to have a gun
4- Don't die because guns are evil and no one owns one
5- Live by killing the person , by using the firearm which you had on the table

Now when # 4 becomes a Reality , which it never will btw , because only people can be evil ,not objects ,till then,
realize no matter how painful it will be . that

ONLY YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF WHEN CONFRONTED BY A PERSON WITH A WEAPON
WHO MEANS TO KILL YOU .

As this maniac proved violence can occur at any moment anywhere any time any place
If instead it was a 75 year old women without the means of being allowed to be armed
(It was a gun free zone so for a law abiding citizen it would be illegal to carry a gun anyway)
Who knows how many people would have been slashed ?
So yes living in denial that bad things can happen to good people at any time .
You foster your ideals that your non self preservation should be followed by the rest of society ?
Sorry I refuse to be sheep led to slaughter .........So should you

People who lack a morale compass will never cede their right to hurt you unless forced to
Why would you cede your right to protect yourself ??????????????

TK[/url]":13dw0swd]How in sweet merciful fuck did a thread about a knife attack get derailed into yet another gun control mess?

Because some of us mentioned we were glad the pervert didn't have a gun for his mission of death.

And we all want to live in the land of unicorns and never never land where only good things happen

Myth: Gun control in Australia is curbing crime

GUNS IN OTHER COUNTRIES - Australian Homicides before and after Port Arthur Masacre and Gun Ban BuybackFact: Homicides were falling before the Australian firearm ban, matching a global downward trend in most industrialized countries. However, non-firearm homicides are relatively stable in Australia.

Fact: Crime has been rising since enacting a sweeping ban on private gun ownership. In the first two years after Australian gun-owners were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms, government statistics showed a dramatic increase in criminal activity. 33 In 2001-2002, homicides were up another 20%. 34

From the inception of firearm confiscation to March 27, 2000, the numbers are:

Firearm-related murders were up 19%
Armed robberies were up 69%
Home invasions were up 21%
The sad part is that in the 15 years before the national gun confiscation:

Firearm-related homicides dropped nearly 66%
Firearm-related deaths fell 50%
Fact: Gun crimes have been rising throughout Australia since guns were banned. In Sydney alone, robbery rates with guns rose 160% in 2001, more than in the previous year. 35

Fact: A ten year Australian study has concluded that firearm confiscation had no effect on crime rates. 36 A separate report also concluded that Australia’s 1996 gun control laws “found [no] evidence for an impact of the laws on the pre-existing decline in firearm homicides” 37 and yet another report from Australia for a similar time period indicates the same lack of decline in firearm homicides. 38

Fact: Despite having much stricter gun control than New Zealand (including a near ban on handguns) firearm homicides in both countries track one another over 25 years, indicating that gun control is not a control variable. 39
