Have people just gone ****ing insane? The guy who brought out his
weapon was perfectly sane prior to bringing out his weapon and
shooting the **** out of 9 people.
Facts not in evidence. You have no proof that he was sane 5 seconds, 5
minutes, 5 hours or 5 days prior to him committing the crime.
You are missing the logical conclusion of JPS's words. If a person can
be perfectly sane one moment and a crazed murderer the next second, it
stands to reason that we should all carry weapons to protect ourselves
against everybody. Since we are all just a second away from insanity!
I learned to "Be Prepared" in the Boy Scouts. It still serves me and
mine well today.
You could be convinced to kill in the right circumstances, in short
order. Or you could convince yourself just like that guy in
Cupertino. No judge or jury necessary. And you might be right and
you might be wrong.
I'm not comfortable with you or anyone else having that option apart
from those specifically trained to interpret potentially dangerous
situations.
