Leave it to Fox to find someone who could turn a multiple victim
public
shooting stemming from a custody dispute resulting in the murder of
two
people and the wounding of four others into a pro-gun piece of
claptrap.
Well, a gun started it, and guns were the only thing that stopped it.
And
it's clear that Wilson saved lives by distracting the shooter, at the
cost
of his own life.
Only a complete asshole would denigrate this bravery and sacrifice.
Which would be, evidently, you.
The asshole(s) are those who are capable of such bizarre thinking as to
turn
that incident into a pro-gun platform. Amazing.
And yet you cannot refute the inescapable fact that without guns, nobody
would have been able to stop the killer.
Guns are merely inanimate objects
and tools that can be used for both good and ill. Most of the time, they
are
used for good. Only relatively rarely are they used for ill.
They are never used for good. They are only used for different degrees of
ill.
What a remarkably ignorant statement. The vast majority of the time, guns
are used to provide pleasure, and the only thing "harmed" is a piece of
paper or a tin can.
But your assertion utterly ignores the obvious fact that guns can be, and
very frequently are used to protect the innocent against violent attack.
That you would classify self-defense as a "degree of ill" indicates that
you
have lost touch with reality.
Take a pill.
Get off whatever pills you are taking.
People (normal people) don't feel good after they act in self-defense.
No one but you suggested anything of the kind.

They
wish they never had to do it in the first place. Find a cop that doesn't
describe using his gun as a "necessary evil" and I'll find you a cop that
should be off the force.
Your statement is non sequitur.
Not at all.

I am saying that good police officers (which is most of them) view using
their guns as a necessary evil.
