So the guy shoots 7 times and hits twice, and this is a good thing? I mean, good on him and all but thats 5 bullets that could have gone anywhere in a grocery store.
I'm glad I wasn't there.

High adrenaline shooting situations are something you ahve to specifically train for. Most people miss even when up close whether or not they have any training at a shooting range.

If everyone was carrying, robberies might be less likely, but I expect general shoot outs would increase.
Quote:
LINK posted:An interview with John R. Lott, Jr. author of More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws.
Question: What does the title mean: More Guns, Less Crime?
John R. Lott, Jr.: States with the largest increases in gun ownership also have the largest drops in violent crimes. Thirty-one states now have such laws—called "shall-issue" laws. These laws allow adults the right to carry concealed handguns if they do not have a criminal record or a history of significant mental illness.
Question: It just seems to defy common sense that crimes likely to involve guns would be reduced by allowing more people to carry guns. How do you explain the results?
Lott: Criminals are deterred by higher penalties. Just as higher arrest and conviction rates deter crime, so does the risk that someone committing a crime will confront someone able to defend him or herself. There is a strong negative relationship between the number of law-abiding citizens with permits and the crime rate—as more people obtain permits there is a greater decline in violent crime rates. For each additional year that a concealed handgun law is in effect the murder rate declines by 3 percent, rape by 2 percent, and robberies by over 2 percent.
Concealed handgun laws reduce violent crime for two reasons. First, they reduce the number of attempted crimes because criminals are uncertain which potential victims can defend themselves. Second, victims who have guns are in a much better position to defend themselves.
Question: What is the basis for these numbers?
Lott: The analysis is based on data for all 3,054 counties in the United States during 18 years from 1977 to 1994.

Good result. What I did not understand was what this religion and race had to do with anything.

The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

So? It has as much to do with the story as his race and religion. Unless he was trying to take everyone's gun, as many liberals would, it is a moot point.

Obviously this guy was trying to take everyone's guns, he even shot someone in the forehead to get one.

Nothing, until morons like you brought it up. Until then it was just two bits of irrelevant information among many other pieces of irrelevant information.
