I quoted a quick reference of the events the news story is about, if people wanted more information I provided a link. Do you feel I left that out on purpose?

edit: Just noticed the article doesn't mention anything about him being a Marine so I'm not sure why I would even quote something not in the article.

So automatically your hypothetical scenario is right and mine is wrong? You gun grabbers are all the same. Can never see a situation in an unbiased manner. You have one outcome in mind, and nothing will change that. I've at least pointed out both sides

Let me get this strait, if NY citizens were packing that day you think they would have made things better by killing the ####### immediately? or do you think the original shooting wouldn't have happened in the first place?

How about a 3rd side? If NY citizens were waving guns the cops would have shot them too!

And of course us "gun grabbers" could talk about a 4th side if their was a total ban on handguns quite possibly their would be 2 more people left on this earth and 9 less people suffering from gunshot injury's.

Sure, because banning guns means nobody has them...right....You guys just don't understand that there always will be guns, and a ban would meant the only people that have them are criminals, which means *gasp* the shootings would still happen.....What would your next soapbox rant be about at that point? Ban criminals? Guess what, murder is illegal, assault with a weapon is illegal, attempted murder is illegal, running drugs is illegal, assault is illegal, possession of a firearm without a licence is illegal, carrying a firearm in public without a permit is illegal, etc etc etc. None of that seems to matter to the criminal element, and that will never change. Take off your rose coloured glasses! You keep being a victim, some of the rest of us will champion for a wave of change that will see us gun owners receiving the respect we deserve for our responsible ownership and discharge. There's a pretty large contingent of the law enforcement community that agrees with side I'm presenting. There's a large contingent of the civilian community that agrees with the side I'm presenting. That's all I'm saying, I'm not an island...Except on this Calgary Flames discussion group, where I wouldn't expect everyone to understand anyhow
