Carrying a Gun Wouldn't Necessarily Get You Out of a Shooting 'If I Only Had a Gun': 20/20 Examines Gun Violence in America (http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=7298996&page=1)

[Pistol Packing Preacher]

I'm not sure if this is going to be a pro-gun show....

[ChunkyMonkey]

It's obvious if you read the plot line from the site, the story is probably about how carrying concealed weapon wont save you.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what anti-gun horse shit comes out of the mouth of ABC

All the more reason to watch, imho. [ROFL2]

[Pistol Packing Preacher]

A trip to "Front Sight" in Las Vegas, Nevada is in my future!

Diane Sawyer is such a pc O shit..

[theGinsue]

Well, it just wrapped up.

This was definitely anti-gun in my opinion. It does clearly make the point that having a concealed carry weapon requires PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! It also lets those who can read betwen the lines realize that you need to give serious consideration to what you are carrying your gun in for ease of access.

I'm glad I watched it - if for no other reason that to remind me what we are up against.

[trlcavscout]

They should have used normal cops and normal CCW permit holders, at least it would have been fair.

[Mtn.man]

Loop hole? Gimme a break..

The black kid lives in a GANG Hood... get rid of the Gang ya get Rid of the Problem..

I grew up in FL this is one of those obscure News worthy Diane Sawyer give me an Award POS news cast. Shoot the POS Gang bangers NO MORE Problem...

We only had to worry about the Outlaws and the Cops in the old days. Now ya got the Gangers and the Gangers. You think they get their guns from a Gun show???
LOL

sorry to all you PC correct AR peeps but get a grip the gang Mo Fo's will have their heat regardless.

[Sixgun]

It seems they really want that gun show loop hole closed. To bad we already have it.[Rant1] We need to get rid of those evil gang members, and illegals. 99% of problems fix. Guns don't kill people, gangs members do.[Tooth]
In Morrison, all my homies fire guns in da streets and in da air because it's cool. Those people are like animals. I feel sorry for the kids in that neighborhood, there is no hope for change. If obama gets his wish only gangs will have guns.(and me)

[Eow]

What a joke that show was. Not even an attempt at portraying other views. The brother of the Virginia Tech victim who bought all those guns at the gun show was irrelevant nonsense. They even admitted the shooter bought the gun at a store and went through a background check. If you think making guns illegal will stop murders, just take a look at Britain. Multiple people get stabbed to death every day there. What's next--outlawing knives? Rope? Poison?

This program was insidious in its attempt to say to CCW holders: "Don't even try to defend yourself with a gun. You have no hope of defending yourself, and you are more dangerous with a weapon."

Could maybe the REAL problem be that the media sensationalizes every one of these serial murderers?

I thought it was ironic that on Channel 7 News right after the show there was a story about some crazed maniac who broke into someone's home in Aurora and tried to kill someone with a boxcutter (the 9/11 terrorist weapon of choice). Instead of following Diane Sawyer's advice and cowering under the bed and calling 911 while the maniac killed the other person, this guy pulled out a gun and blew the bad guy away.

I really wish people would stop using the term "gunshow loophole" altogether. There is NO loophole. It's just that private citizens can sell guns without doing a back ground check. The gun show part has nothing to do with it.

[ryanek9freak]

Where the hell did they find those fucking idiot high school students to "help" move the garage stuff? ROTFLMAO!! Did you see the one moron try to look down the barrel of the .357 with a flashlight to see if it was loaded??!?! I almost fell off my chair laughing, kinda hoped it would go off and shoot him in the face for being such a fucktard.

I think they puposley tried to find the dumbest fucking people they could find, either that or they were paid actors, which is what I suspect.

THat show was the most anti-gun piece of trash I have ever seen.

Diane said they couldn't find any studies on citizens using guns for self defense. BULL SHIT!!!

[Sixgun]

I guess she doesn't read the American Riflemen, The Armed Citizen.[Ignore]

Whoa, are you suggesting that we have a right to free commerce? That two private citizens are free to exchange items without government oversight or regulation?

Just remember, once the "Gun Show Loophole" is closed, they will immediately attack the "Internet Loophole". We can't have people buying or exchanging guns privately through transactions established over the internet.

[trlcavscout]

But the drug cartels arent getting guns via the "internet loop hole", just the gunshow loop hole [M2] Remeber thats where they are getting their RPG's and full autos. [LOL]

[ssf467]

Government propaganda, this is to help push gun laws through.

[theGinsue]

just take a look at Britain. Multiple people get stabbed to death every day there. What's next--outlawing knives?

Yes, this is already being considered. Outlawing "butcher knives".

And hand grenades; don't forget the hand grenades that they're pickin up at their local gun shows and transporting to the militants in Mexico.
