The following statements from nudistpig are unwarranted opinion:
1. Revolvers are useless. 100% useless.
Revolvers are not useless, and he offers no supporting evidence/data for this assertion.
2. A teacher shooting that off in a crowded room is idiocy. Is ‘that’ a revolver or a handgun or a bazooka? NP doesn’t distinguish. Improper pronoun reference—but what would I expect from the likes of np?
3. Only folks who have zero experience with firearms think handguns are useful at all.
Sorry, not the opinion of trained and qualified policemen I took my home-defense courses from. But the np thinks he’s is his own delphic oracle.
4. What am I going to hunt in a major city? You’re not, so why ask a rhetorical question?
Your post is opinion, not fact—or remotely informed.
No professional with a brain says handguns in classrooms are a good idea and your self assurance on this most ridiculous assertion is proof of some kind of desire to be entirely wrong. It's a terrible idea through and through and the notion you would even consider it demonstrates an inability to reason critically. No, the solution to guns is not always more guns and no, finding the magic classroom with the best trained teacher with the best drill so Rambo High Takedown Edition can happen is the worst hypothetical to rest your laurels on. Stop. I know you have to try to make this into your defense of a ammosexual love of the second amendment or whatever it is you are doing but please, come up with better bullshit. This is not hamburger hill don't die on it.
Yes, cops are not included in the discussion as they are required by law in most jurisdictions and no, cops hate the idea of folks with guns for safety overall. Especially the Black ones. Remember Philando Castille? Consumers who have handguns overwhelmingly kill themselves or others. That is a fact. The number of crimes solved by shooting at stuff blindly is next to zero. I'm sure you have an example ready but the stats are the stats. Handguns are for crimes, either planned or accidental. Except in the South, where a toddler of 2 can get into an unlocked car and open an unlocked glove compartment and get an unlocked revolver and shoot himself and have the cops say no one could have prevented this. This is what you're defending. I'm glad you took the time to point out the fact that cops have guns. Surely I missed that. What is the name of the cop what department and was this an nra program? What evidence based knowledge did the man who has a HS education and who is not an expert in home safety at all because cops aren't trained in that. I am the oracle of Dodona get into it.
I'll point out you took a don't shoot your foot off course on how to keep dangerous men out of your house from officer barbrady offering no evidence but your own humble estimation of his munificence and take his opinion at word when he is not a expert in home safety, unless you care to share his name and credentials. How long was this course? Was it free or paid? How much if so? How many modules? What did the training pedagogy consist of? What were your outcomes and how were you evaluated? Did it give you any new rights or permissions? It seems the oracle of anecdote needs to spend more time on his evidence and less trying desperately to show you have knowledge of classical antiquity which is not relevant here anyway.
Thanks for answering the question. I have owned a nightclub and worked in the underbelly. That was gallows humour and the point is that handguns are for crimes. We determined this already, either ones planned or caused by idiots with tools. My firearms experience includes my family of hunters of course, the rcmp, the experts at cfb gagetown (that's army here son) and my award for marksmanship is for 99% on standard five bulls with a .22 at 100 yards. There are two of those .22 and I have a .303 from WWI. I've fired a grenade launcher and heavy artillery which was fun but no expertise there. As I said, these are hunting guns and I am not hunting much since my Dad died.
Which firearms are you proficient in, what do you own, and why have you no evidence? Your post is opinion, it's as far as I can tell you being upset you had to read something I wrote and spilling the first chunks of travesty in your brain out on a page. Look your penis is bigger and you're not gay. You win. Just don't talk about this topic unless you have some data and some actual experience to relate beyond the police officer told me not to leave open windows. I use a bat to ward off problems it works very well. Only once here in 10 years but he took it good. Oh, yes, I've had a gun pulled on me three times and all three times my mouth got me out of it. But if I had actually been shot you'd complain I didn't die so it doesn't count.
