The common denominator

Every mass killing has one common denominator. It's not race, mental issues, religion, geographical area, etc....
One thing is the same- and it is the one thing we can change. The one common factor in every mass killing is this: Defenseless victims.
9/11- no one was armed on the planes. In the one plane they fought back, it ended the slaughter.
Boston marathon- no defense against bombs, but no one was aware of the one turd leaving a backpack on the ground and un- assing the area.
Sandy Hook- defenseless kids, unarmed teachers
Fort Hood- unarmed soldiers and employees
Aurora theater- gun free zone
San Bernardino- gun free zone
Heck, you can even count the whole city of Chicago since the mid 60s
Don't know enough about the park shooting in new Orleans, but I bet it was a gun free zone
Don't be defenseless. Even if you can't carry a gun, being armed is a mindset. Keep aware- have a plan.

Sad to say working for the Military in a gun free zone just seems weird. They have random inspections at the gate, so I am unable to leave my handgun in a lock box that I have in the truck.
These days every bad guy had a gun or weapon of some sort, but certain members of our elected government are hell bent on taking them away from law abiding people. It makes zero sense to me and most people I know.
If even a handful of people in that building yesterday had a weapon to defend them self, how many less people may have been killed or wounded?
I mean We as a Country,
What year did mini gun bans start ?
Aside from laws like the infamous Sullivan law of NYC, and apart from inaccurate Hollywood tripe, such as Dodge city and Sheriffs telling people to leave town, when did it all really start ?
I agree somewhat. But I think the other things play into it, Race, religon, mental state, Etc. But most people aren't brainless enough to try something if they know there's a better than even chance of being killed doing it, even most Jihadists. So they look for a defenseless victim or victims or a safe haven such as a Gun Free Zone.
Ahh Gun Free Zones!!! I'll be the only one armed at the party!!! Very few of these cowards will try something like that in a place like Texas or Alabama or wherever some of the potential victims may instead be armed..

It's not only a case of how many less people would have been killed had it been legal for people to be armed, it would also soon grow unpopular with the Bad Guys (And Gals) and/or Sick guys (And Gals) to try to pray on defenseless people because they would soon find there were less defenseless people and MORE ARMED people out and about in places that before were traditionally Gun Free. This alone would put the quajitas on 90% of this crap.

In the hands of abstract absentee concepts or in the actuality of reality ?
This isn't really inaccurate...Dodge City Kansas in 1875 had an ordinance that forbade the carrying of firearms in city limits. Guns could be left at the Sheriffs Office or with the barkeep at any of the saloons...to be claimed when you were leaving town...many of the cowtowns, Ellsworth, Abilene, Hays, Newton all had similar ordinances at one time or another.
Following the Civil War, the South was rife with laws and ordinances to prevent people of color from arming themselves...
But there's a tad bit of difference in 1870s Dodge City and in one of today's metroplexes. It was easier for 5 or 10 law men to keep tabs on 500 or so cow men than a PD or SO to watch 100,000-1,000,000 potential criminals or terrorists.

Heard a good thought the other day from Col. Dave Grossman. If you don't take the law into your own hands then you allow the nut job to determine the body count.
The genie can't be put back. There's too many privately owned guns for gun control measures to be effective. Mutually assured destruction was the defacto reamedy for the other genie. Let the public be armed.
Many years ago an actor named Robert Blake co-starred in a movie titled In Cold Blood. They committed senseless murders. At the end they were taken to an old aircraft hangar in the middle of Kansas and hung.
I personally have not a clue about when it all began, but I suspect there have always been people so opposed to violence that they take the stupid stand of doing away with all manner of defense thinking that even defensive violence should be stopped. Along these lines I remember when I was in school there was a local movement by a bunch of women and a doctor to stop football in schools. Around here that went over like a lead balloon, just like gun control in this part of the country.

Civil disobedience is called for, it's time to go full-**** 'Rosa Parks' for the right to self defense. Millions of us. They can't arrest us all. The right to bear arms is more than a civil rights issue, it's a national security issue and an individual survival issue. I'm not looking for legal trouble, I won't announce I'm carrying where I'm not supposed to, but I will quietly, discreetly carry wherever I am likely to come into the presence of any other person. And if I'm the lucky one who gets busted for it, so be it, see you in court. It begins now, because it must, because the enemy is already past the gates, and is among us.
There can't be any more soft targets. We all have to make everywhere we are a hard target. A very, very hard target. All it will take is one terrorist attack defeated by armed citizens before the police can show up, and the gun makers won't be able to churn out carry guns fast enough. And the laws restricting law-abiding armed citizens will fall.
Saying we can carry in some places and not in others is akin to Jim Crow laws for black citizens, and it has to end.
Now go forth with that message !
Defense does NOT end at a front door, and should NOT stop at a State border, that is where the States rights people have it all wrong !
Imagine if the States had say over the First amendment ?
Yep bigger n OJ! Another example of "Money Talks and BS Walks!"

I remember when he played a cop in Barretta? Sammy Davis I believe, sang the show's opening theme song. One of the lines was "Don't do the crime if you can't do the Crime" He did the opposite and walked away a free man, thanks to shyster lawyers.
Oh, and stupid jurors.

A little info: Though in Most of Europe one citizen can legally own a firearm for sports or hunting ( mostly shotguns/rifles) (( crap we're scr... or criminal here in the Netherlands)) It is waaaaay more easy ( know a Guy or just a phonecall away) to get anything from 7,65 pistol to real Full auto) AK47's for less than € 750,00 with at least 100 rnds thrown in ( illegal as Hell here, with at least 240 hrs community service if caught, same sentence as murder 2 btw; welcome in Lib-paradise
So; Why is Europe safer ?????????
That's the problem with all this libtard legislation. It doesn't work. All it does is disarmed the law abiding citizens. It's mindless.
