But forcing this thing which says "WEL IF DEY HAD A GUN NINE ELEVUN NEVUR WUD HAV HAPEND1!11!1" is just fucking retarded, not everyone in the world wants to have a gun, and saying this won't change a bloody thing lol.
Not everyone need have guns, not everyone want to have guns, or would have had one in that particular instance... POOPHAMMER was satirical when he said "if everyone had a gun".
I mean it doesn't even need to be fifty guns, just five decently trained people would've been great.
Lke Jarold said it simply means that in instances where terrorists attacks civilians, the situation would be completely different if some of the civilians were armed.
To be able to kill and wound a hundred while being literally alone, the guy
needed the people inside the club to be completely unarmed, else he would have been assfucked in minutes
Though I agree with Yeldur, sometimes even unarmed civilians can save the day. There was numerous times when people intervened and defused a situation that could have caused as much casualties as in Orlando. For example the attempted terrorist attack in 2015 in a train in France, where a gunman was restrained while carrying hundreds of ammunition and an assault rifle; if he had been able to unleash all his firepower without resistance he would have done "as well" as in Orlando...
Still a much safer way to "counter" terrorists is to let willing, trained, law-abiding civilians to carry guns. As simple as.
